I never use -y. I know I could issue dnf upgrade and do the same thing, I've just been playing around with dnf check-upgrade. I could be wrong but dnf check-upgrade seems to me to be new with dnf5, so presumably it has been added for a reason, so is there checking done that is not done with dnf upgrade?On Wed, 2024-11-27 at 08:46 +1100, Stephen Morris wrote:This is true, and I know this can be done under DNF, but I'm using that to decide whether it is worth doing the upgrade in terms of the volume of updates that will be put on. If there are only 3 updates to put on then its not necessarily worth putting on the updates yet.So, just do "sudo dnf update" and when it comes back with the results, look at them, THEN hit Y or N for yes or no to install them. People who preload the install/update/erase command line with yes are just asking for trouble. If something goes rogue, a command may install or remove hundreds of packages, leaving you with a borked system. That's another bit of bad advice various websites offer.
Just an off topic question, I've noticed recently that when I preview a mail from this list I no longer get any indication of who the email came from in the body of the mail, and if there is no signature, with the from being "Community support for Fedora users", it makes it hard to identify who we are communicating with. Having said this though, when I reply to the mail, I do get an indication of who the mail came from that I used to get in the preview before replying. Has this been a change in functionality of the mail list?
regards,
Steve
