There is a big difference doing an upgrade on a system with an SSD vs a SATA hard drive. Having a fast pipe also helps a lot. There is no "average time" because just those two things can mean the difference between minutes and hours. (Not to mention people, like me, who install just about everything.) Having a faster dependency resolver will help *the next time*, unless there is a way to default to using dnf for the fedup process. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
