Yes. In fact, it tries to find new repos[1] for *every repo you currently have enabled*. So (for example) if you're using the rpmfusion repo(s), it also upgrades to the latest rpmfusion packages available. -w [1] It does this by looking at the URL listed in the .repo file and changing $releasever to the new version. So this works if: a) the new repo URL is the same as the old one, with just $releasever changed (e.g. all Fedora and RPMFusion repos), or b) the repo uses the same URL regardless of Fedora version (e.g. the Adobe Flash repo) Any third party repos that *don't* follow one of these two rules will not get properly upgraded during preupgrade. You should probably email the repo maintainer and let them know. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
