Can fedora sparc be upgraded from 12 to 15 using preupgrade?

[Cicone, Anthony]

Hi List,

I'm trying to upgrade Fedora Sparc 12 to 15 using preupgrade, but keep getting the
following error?  I don't see a .treeinfo file in any of the paths?

//ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/fedora-secondary/development/15/sparc/os//.treeinfo

No it cant, for one we do not have f15 install trees that work correctly yet, 
for 2 anaconda doesnt support upgrading more than 2 releases. you will need to 
either use yum. or wait until we get a working install tree and install from 
scratch

Thanks Dennis, yum doesn't work either, guess I'll have to wait.  I would keep
using 12, but the pointer disappears and I get a bunch of lines on the screen when doing
anything remote over X.  I don't have the same problem if I enable HWCursor, but I get
a big white block instead of a cursor for the pointer.
