I'd be happier if there were some evidence that the Fedup developers
were keeping a note of problems.
Of course that would only come about if the folks having problems would be
so kind as to file bugzillas.
I agree that would be good.
(I did actually file a bugzilla for one of my two Fedup problems.)
But I think a simple survey - "How did your Fedup go?" - would be good too.
I guess 80% would just say "Fine", but it might be worth knowing
what problems the other 20% encountered.
I have used Fedup to upgrade Fedora every release from F18 to F21, and
it has worked flawlessly except for F21. I use the nvidia proprietary
driver, both the kmod binary version and the akmod source version, and I
had all sorts of problems with them after Fedup in F21 for the first
time. The binary driver was not upgraded to a version supporting the
initial F21 kernel even though an upgrade was available and at boot time
the akmod version was not compiled into the kernel. I had to run a dnf
upgrade command after the Fedup process to get the right version of the
kmod driver for the kernel version.
The other issue I have since running Fedup, relative to the nvidia
module, the F21 upgrade has installed both debug and non-debug versions
of the kernel such that the nvidia drivers both the binary version and
the compiled source code version cannot be installed into the debug
kernel but can be installed into the non-debug kernel, and Fedora, in my
opinion have stupidly, made the debug kernel version the default kernel
(and I haven't found any info from net searches on how to change this so
that with any future upgrades of the kernel the default kernel will
always be the non-debug version. If I want to use the debug version then
I will select that from the Advanced Options submenu).
I have also queried in another thread around plymouth not working
properly, but this is no different to F20.
regards,
Steve
