This morning yum check-update spotted that 7.5.3 was now on ART so I gave it a go - it wasn't entirely as straightforward as I'd hoped. This is really intended as some gotchas for others:
My initial attempt to do an update generated some dependency errors.
libcurl.so.2 was required by psa and psa-pre-keyupdate
spamassassin was required by qmail-scanner.
A little googling find that FC3 (which is what I'm installing on) has libcurl.so.3 but a compatible so.2 was available by
rpm -Uvh http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sys ... 2.i386.rpm
which left the odd spamassassin required by qmail-scanner error - odd since both were installed.
I removed qmail-scanner (with a view of reinstating it after the update).
At this point the update ran happily.
but -
at the end the update uninstalled my spamassassin installation ( one which I'd installed myself rather than install the psa-spamassassin package)
then the update searched out any other jdk's apart from the one it installed itself and removed those (breaking a some jdk1.5 applications I had installed).
I'm not too impressed by Plesk removing things from my system like that!! Luckily putting these back is not too difficult.
Finally I was caught out for a little while since I hadn't realised that horde et al have to be reinstalled manually after the update.

I'm working through some of these things as well, I reckon I'll have to modify the FC3 channel to work around a couple of the big issues with PSA on that platform (curl, mailman, spamassassin, etc). I've had creating an "atomic-psa" package on my list since I first set up the archive, sort of a way to package around all the problems you get like this with integration . Basically the idea is I create an rpm that contains all the logic and dependencies that would install, and configure a complete PSA box with all my add-ons from one package (yum install atomic-psa). I've gotten a lot of experience with this lately through ASL and Project Gamera. No ETA on how soon I'll put that together, like I said its been on my list for a few years now, but having already done it with PG and ASL, at least I dont have to start from zero any more.
