Hi, all.
I've been away for some weeks & am now back so I'm looking at
possibilities for upgrading 17 -> 18 seeing as 17 will be EOL in around
eight to ten weeks.
After the initial problems with FedUp, I read last night over on
Bugzilla about its progress & the latest testing (which looks like it's
going to go stable next week) is looking pretty solid.
So the question is, is everybody been happy with the upgrade process via
FedUp lately?
No. I gave up on it after it failed miserably on a couple of test
upgrades in the early phases of f18. May-be it has seen improvements
since then, but I didn't look back at it, since then, because I found
the procedures outlined on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E_Fedora_18
Specifically at this link, there's a link to a wonderful script
which does the tedious work of getting you from F17-> F18:
https://github.com/xsuchy/fedora-upgrade
It's in the fine-print there beginning with the words "A small script..."
MP
so far worked reliably.
Thanks to everybody for their answers.
Just for the sake of reporting any findings to Bugzilla, I'll attempt
another upgrade via FedUp in a VM but I think I'll upgrade the machine
in question using yum.
It's a shame. I went from 12 sequentially through to 17 using preupgrade
without a single hitch.
Cheers,
Phil...
