Hi, guys,
It is getting to be time to upgrade again. I am debating the wipe and
reinstall method, over the upgrade by YUM. One of the issues facing me
it the loss of the FEL spin. I use a lot of those tools along with some
other stuff I have had to get via download and install. I have also had
my issues with GNOME (no rant, just aggravation). So, Here is the big
question... Has anyone done either the full jump (f20-f22) or is the
preferred process f20 to f21 then move to f22 a bit later?
I recently upgraded from F20 -> F21 -> F22 via dnf on two separate
machines. So far I do not see any issues. I cannot comment
specifically on the applications you listed. The only gotcha was, if
you are in a multilib environment, so applications requiring 32-bit
libraries on a 64-bit install, then you might need to temporarily remove
a few of the 32-bit libraries before the upgrade can proceed.
Also beware of rebooting without looking at the transaction summary from
yum/dnf. For one of the 4 upgrades, I overlooked the install of the
kernel failed and I could not boot with the new kernel. It was easily
solved by booting to the old kernel and regenerating the initramfs with
dracut.
Hope this helps,
PS: don't forget to run rpmconf -a to merge your configs.
