So PK's yum backend won't directly require preupgrade anymore. So it's a valid question. In theory I think it makes sense for all Desktop installs. But I'd like to see wider testing of preupgrade-0.9.8 before I commit to that. -w -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
