Upgrade Fedora to next version using dnf upgrade.
This is an attempt to automatize steps as listed here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_package_manager
Please note that fedora-upgrade is NOT officially supported upgrade path. That means it is not tested by Fedora QA before release and bugs in fedora-upgrade are not a blocker for release.
You can upgrade to any version. However, Fedora QA tests, and most users upgrade to next version.next version.
- Display link to release notes and ask you if you really want to upgrade.
- Check if dependencies are installed and install them. This step is only needed if you download the script from GitHub. Dependencies are always present if you install fedora-upgrade as rpm package.
- Resolve old .rpmsave and .rpmnew files using rpmconf. This step is optional and can be skipped. But it is better to start to upgrade with a clean state.
- Download and install new GPG keys - including rpmfusion if you are using it.
- Update dnf and clean all dnf metadata.
- Upgrade system using dnf. In this or any previous step, you can hit Ctrl + C and interrupt upgrade and repeat it as many times you wish. After this step, you could not return (you can use back up, you created a backup before upgrade, did you?). You can choose between offline upgrade:
- offline - this use dnf-plugin-system-upgrade plugin and requires two reboots - this is official upgrade method
- online - this use distro-sync and require only one reboot - this is not officially tested by FedoraQA
- Install packages from group 'Minimal Install'. It may happen that some new essential packages have been introduced to Fedora. This step will install them. You may, however, skip this step if you want to.
- Clean old caches (YUM, DNF, PackageKit).
- Resolve old .rpmsave and .rpmnew files using rpmconf. This step is optional and can be skipped. But it is better to finish the upgrade with a clean state.
- Reset service priorities - the order of init scripts could have changed from the previous version. This step is optional and can be skipped. And this does not affect services already migrated to systemD units.
- Optionally report orphaned packages (packages that are not present in Fedora anymore) and you have them installed from the previous version.
- Report success and suggest you reboot.
If there will be a problem during upgrade, this script will immediately stop and will not continue. If you hit a problem before step 6, you can run fedora-upgrade again after you resolve the problem. If you hit a problem in the later stage, you can resolve the issue manually and open fedora-upgrade as it is just bash script. And try to finish manually. But most steps after step 6 are optional, so it should not affect the stability of your system.
