Upgrade of Manifold using the Yum repo is not currently possible on CentOS

[hardyoyo]

There is a known issue is with the CentOS yum repo, which currently looks like this:

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/manifold-release.repo
[manifold-release]
name=Manifold (release) - $basearch
baseurl=https://storage.googleapis.com/manifold-yum/el7/x86_64/release
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

The known issue is, attempts to upgrade using Yum are not successful:

sudo yum update manifold

After running the above, the installed version remains the same:

sudo yum list installed | egrep manifold 
manifold.x86_64                       4.1.0~beta.1-1.el7             @manifold-release

The workaround we've found is to use the manual installation method detailed in the upgrading documentation:

1. Download the latest stable version, as documented in the installation instructions to a temporary location, such as ~/tmp
2. Install using: sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps --force manifold-your-version-here.rpm
3. Verify using: sudo rpm -qa | grep manifold
