While rpm5 and its perlish friends are not allowing a simple way to upgrade from 2010.x versions of the distribution to cooker via urpmi, I came with the following simple hack solution to do so, in 3 simple steps:

  • Install perl-URPM from main/testing from your favorite mirror
  • urpmi.removemedia -a && urpmi.addmedia ftp://your.favorite.mirror/devel/cooker/$ARCH
  • for z in $(seq 1 2); do urpmi –auto-select –allow-nodeps; done

This should work (most of the time).
