Description Petr Bokoc 2014-09-01 13:26:54 UTC

The current upgrade chapter is pretty much completely useless. We need a new one that would cover:
* Automatic upgrades with FedUp, including how to prepare and how to clean up after the update finishes
* Manual upgrade (or reinstall) - manually booting the installer on an existing system and using the normal installation process to overwrite the root filesystem while keeping the rest of the system (/home and any other separate filesystems) intact.

There should be ample documentation on FedUp on the Fedora Wiki.

*** Bug 1001049 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Pete Travis 2016-03-06 20:35:32 UTC

Update: this is still needed, but in-place distribution upgrades should now be performed with the dnf system-upgrade plugin instead of fedup.

Comment 3 Petr Bokoc 2024-05-21 09:21:52 UTC

The install guide has been retired, therefore I'm closing this bug.
