Experiences with fedup-cli: 18 -> 19: very long download process

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear Folks,

I'll share my experience with upgrading four (non-virtual) machines
from Fedora 18 to Fedora 19.  In each case, I used
fedup-0.7.3-4.fc18.noarch from updates-testing, performing a network
upgrade.  None of the upgrades were hampered by lack of disk space.

The first two went beautifully, flawlessly, and fairly rapidly.  After
the success of my home machine, I upgraded my work machine from home,
and when I came to work on Monday morning it worked perfectly well for
me; I was a very happy camper!

The third machine is a single core, old ASUS 1000e Eee PC; the
downloading appeared to stall after several hours.  I restarted
fedup-cli --network 19 and it finished after a while longer, and
upgraded just fine after the reboot.

The fourth machine through, has taken the most time.  It's a Lenovo
x121e, the only one of the three that was a fresh install of F18.

The fedup-cli download process went for more than 40 hours before I
interrupted it.  fedup-cli was showing all the packages repeatedly,
cycling from the beginning of the alphabet after finishing the z
packages.

Next to each package was written "0B", presumably because it had
already been downloaded.  I interrupted the process twice and
restarted after that initial long wait, and finally it finished this
morning, and the upgrade after the reboot went smoothly and rapidly
with the solid state disk.

On Fedora 19, I am happy with the state that it is in now, and find it
works well for me.
