Re: system-upgrade

[Michael D. Setzer II]

I'd recommand doing one version upgrade at a time.
You are suppose to be able to upgrade 2 versions, but I once had it fail 
and system was not easily fixable, so just did a clean install that was a 
pain to get back to the state of the system.

I just updated two machines from fc31 to fc32 using dnf with no 
problem.

I generally create a list of packages installed, so If I want to do a clean 
install, and then make the new system have a similar setup instead of 
have to manually do it.

#!/usr/bin/bash
rpm --qf "%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n" -qa | sort  | grep -v gpg-pubkey > 
installed_pkgs`date +%F`.txt

Then can pipe that into a dnf install. Sometime have to remove some 
lines for packages that no longer exist or have been replaced.

Good Luck.
