It's a much better solution than *current* fedup, but yeah, it's really just a proof-of-concept. The concept is that System Upgrades should be done as follows: 1) Prepare an Offline System Update[1], with $releasever=NEW_VERSION 2) Run the offline system update ...which means system upgrades are really just big updates. So it makes sense that the update tools should handle them, not a special tool maintained by the installer team. So, I'm trying to get support for this stuff into DNF itself[2], but if the DNF team can't/won't support system upgrades, I'd still recommend dnf-plugin-fedup over the existing fedup. -w [1] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates [2] https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/281 > > -- > Paul W.
