How to upgrade the Rawhide correctly?

[Bowen Wang]

Hi everyone,
I found the web page about how to upgrade the Rawhide to the newest version:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade

there are totally 4 commands
1. dnf upgrade --refresh
2. dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
3. dnf system-upgrade download --refresh releasever=rawhide
4. dnf system-upgrade reboot

I know that the second one is for installing a plugin for dnf.
But what is the differences between 1 and 3,4?

Sincerely,
Bowen Wang

Note that the above is the process to upgrade a stable or branched
release to rawhide. 

Once you have a rawhide install, updating day to day is just 
'dnf update'.

That said, step 1 updates your existing install to the latest packages
in enabled repos, 3 then downloads the packages you would need to
upgrade to rawhide, the last one reboots you into the dnf
system-upgrade and it applies those downloads to bring your stable or
branched release to rawhide. 

Hope that helps,

Ok, since I installed the OS from the nightly compose of Rawhide, so all I
have to do is to run
dnf update

And is there any release history or release note for Rawhide?

I just checked the man page of dnf, there is no
dnf update
available, do you mean
dnf upgrade?

Update and upgrade are synonyms for dnf, they will just do the same thing. There is an
email sent to this list and the devel@ list everyday which lists the packages that changed
in rawhide that day; that's the 'changelog' for rawhide. The mail title will
have 'rawhide report' in it.
