Anyone used the dnf upgrade plugin to go from F22 to F23?

Hello All,
Is there a lot of good news about how it is better than Fedup?
Does one have to prepare by removing locally built rpms prior, or does it handle all that now by simply passing over them and reporting?

Cheers,
Terry

Not a lot of good (or bad) news that I've seen, but it is Fedup's replacement. You might want to check out the Fedora Users list. I think I did a clean install back when F22 was branched from Rawhide, and have been using yum, rather than dnf, to keep current.

Currently on upgrade 3 using dnf going from F22>23. Followed the instructions Here and those from the terminal as it ran to resolve any discrepancies. One of the computers has went from Fedora 16 to Fedora 23 via preupgrade, fedup and now dnf. Dnf will skip over any offending packages or not complete if you use the "--best" flag. Just remember to back up any important data.

Good Luck,

phil

Holy mackerel !!! All that worked ?. Lucky fella - most people can't even get fedup to work for them.

Can't help the OP, as I don't do upgrades until the new version has "settled down". Maybe after a month or so. I also use rawhide kernels, so it'll be interesting to see how that is handled.

As for luck, maybe but upgrading 6 desktops and 3 laptops over the years has been pretty uneventful and most of the glitches encountered were from nvidia drivers and google-earth. Don't use the proprietary nvidia drivers anymore and just uninstall google-earth. Sometimes packages from 3rd party repos take a while to be built for a new release so holding off on upgrading helps or just skip the offenders.

For a good laugh one of the desktop computers is a HP with a P3, 550 MHz, 784 MB RAM and currently running F22 and I will try to upgrade that one too as it has run every release of Fedora 1>22 and used to run RHEL 3.

I've just tossed my last 32-bit machine - a P-III with a Gig and a Radeon card. Worked fine all these years as my "office" machine. Trying to figure out if it's worth scavenging the 4 80Gig drives to shoe-horn into some other box ...

I can now report that I have just run through the dnf system-upgrade process to go from Fedora 22 to 23, and it appears to have worked like a charm.
I run a system that is quite a way from standard, with quite a few home build packages, and it handled it all without a hiccup. The only thing that is missing is VirtualBox and that's quite simple to install.
What a wonderful thing it is to finally have, what appears to be, a competent upgrade process...for me at least.

Cheers,
Terry

I went all the way from Fedora 14 to 22 with preupgrade and then fedup without issues, but I did wait for upgrade bugs to be fixed before making the move every time.

Just did F21 -> F23 with the dnf upgrade.
As above worked like a charm.

Didn't retain the rawhide repo for my kernels tho - you'd think they'd recognise that. Did keep google chrome - go figure.
