Hi,
It seems to work fine now, and I like to have recent NVIDIA drivers. I
don't mind upgrading twice a year when it works, and it might have the
advantage that per each upgrade, not as many changes are introduced as
when upgrading less frequently.
Until Fedora comes with a more radical change (like when it moved from
Gnome 2 to Gnome 3) I guess we can be confident fedup will work.
Upgrades from the network take a long time. It would help if we could
point to a local DVD install media and use the updates repo at the same
time, so fedup don't take so long downloading packages.
One way or another, you need to download, which takes a while. Then all
the packages need to be upgraded, and that also takes a while. While
you run fedup to prepare for the upgrade, you can do other things just
as if you were downloading a DVD image.
Yes, I like the fact fedup only locks the machine after the necessary
reboot.
My ideas make sense only for repeating the processes on multiple
machines. If I could download all packages / and store then in a DVD
media or a shared disk beforehand, it would save time for the second
machine and so. Like we can do today with the install media, but
expanded for Fedora updates and third-party repos.
Imagine if fedup worked using yum "keep cache" and then setup a http or
nfs share for other machines to reuse all downloaded content. Then other
machines wouldn't need to download / install anything to their local HDs
before rebooting (except for the new grub, kernel and a few binaries
kile yum), they would upgrade directly from the first one.
