With the yum tools getting better, its actually pretty easy to clean things up now after an upgrade. You generally need to check for orphans (package-cleanup --orphans), dupes (package-cleanup --dupes) and incorrectly installed packages (rpm -Va), and config file changes (find /etc --type f '*.rpm*'). This can be easier than doing a fresh install followed by recustomization. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
