The new tool has more or less the same shape as preupgrade. It's a two-stage process launched from the running system you want to upgrade, just like preupgrade, but it's all new code. The second stage goes through dracut, rather than anaconda. Details on how to test the new system are at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_18_Upgrade_Testing , give it a shot. Yes, we should suppress preupgrade from offering upgrades from F17 somehow. The obvious thing would be to mark it as preupgrade-ok=False in https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt . I'll ask releng. Dunno why I didn't think of that before, thanks for the nudge. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
