= Proposed Self Contained: Preupgrade Assistant = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Preupgrade_Assistant Change owner(s): Petr Hracek <phracek@xxxxxxxxxx> The Preugrade Assistant is a tool to help people upgrade from one release to another and be sure to track important manual configuration changes they performed. == Detailed Description == The idea behind the The Preupgrade Assistant came from the notion that even during the rather short release cycles in Fedora occasionally there are changes that are incompatible between releases and which are either hard or nearly impossible to cover during a standard package upgrade. Examples would be major version upgrades of applications or services that change configuration file syntax or on-disk date format changes. The Preupgrade Assistant works by analyzing the source system and will generate a report which will offer information and configuration files for typically changed settings and services. It offers a plugin architecture where component or functional area owners can contribute and write their on plugins in python, bash or perl that can generate additional information for the report. == Scope == The Preupgrade Assistant is a standalone tool that doesn't affect any other component in the system. The scope for Fedora 22 is to provide the basic framework and initial plugins for general use. Additional component or functional area plugins rely on component owners to actively help working on them. * Proposal owners: Provide the basic framework and initial plugins for general use * Other developers: Provide additional component or functional area plugins (optional) * Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
