I got tired of all the different gotchas with upgrade utilities. Yum behaves in a much more consistent way, and seems more reliable to me. These are the steps that I take: 1. init 3 2. run rpmconf to check all conf files 3. yum --releasever=<num> distro-sync 4. run rpmconf again 5. do any special changes needed for this release (e.g. when the /usr move happened in F18), or application specific stuff. 6. reboot So far I have only faced problems from specific packages, not the upgrade process. I have used this without problems since F14 up to F20 on one machine, and since F15 to F19 on another. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
