I just used it to upgrade my F8 system - yes, we eat our own dogfood! Everything's working just fine. Here's a couple of notes for testers: 1) The interview has a small mistake - PreUpgrade does *not* show up in the menus. You have to run 'preupgrade' to start it. In the not-too-distant future it should get started by a puplet notification (F8) or a PackageKit notification (F9+). 2) RFEs etc. go to Trac: http://fedorahosted.org/preupgrade/ You can file bugs there too, at least until bugzilla has a 'preupgrade' component. 3) Upgrade requirements: * preupgrade needs ~70MB of space on /boot minimum (that will get you a text-mode upgrade). For graphics you'll need ~128MB or more. * It also requires disk space in /var/cache/yum on the target system - typically something like 600MB, but could be a few GB depending on how many packages need upgrading. (That's still way less than downloading a DVD, though.) 4) Keep in mind that upgrades can take a looong time. My system is old and has ~1900 packages installed; it downloaded 2GB of packages and took a few hours to upgrade. YMMV. -w
