So anything I knew I did not want, I removed. With
other things, I dnf downgraded. So I removed
`-—enablerepo=*` from my cheat sheet.
I thought I had removed abiword years ago and
do not remember ever adding goffice. They are
gone now. A bunch of others are gone too.
Things went smoothly after that.
Good to see that.
I am thinking of doing a full `dnf list installed`
and seeing what else I have hanging around
that I thought I had removed or do not want
anymore.
I use some software that is distributed as mostly statically
compiled binaries and come with source. C++ seems to
be dynamically linked. Sometimes I have R packages that
came from some github project and aren't in the "official"
repos.
After upgrades there are often packages from older Fedora
versions and no longer used by Fedora, but may still be used
by copr packages or locally compiled stuff. Usually there are
"new and improved" replacements available in current Fedora
repos. Cleanup involves research to find replacements and
often some tweaks to source code. With R, packages now
bundle sources for libraries that have been removed from
some distro repositories (or the Msys2 system R uses on
Windows). There is a growing problem with R and Python
users running older distros and getting different results or
missing capabilities present in newer distros.
