Hi, everyone. I installed keesh using my layering script to Athena
9.0.14, and it updated cleanly to 9.0.15. I've heard some concerns that
a layered install might have trouble updating to an Athena version which
is based on a different version of RedHat than the Athena version of the
original layered install was based on (e.g., 8.4.26 -> 9.0.15).
However, I had a brief look at the update_ws script, and I can't see
anything pertaining to such a case. Is it likely that if my layering
allows updates within the set of Athena versions based on a given RedHat
version, then updates to Athena based on later versions will also work?
Alex.
