Description of problem: Testing Fedora 21 KDE spin upgrade to Fedora 22 KDE spin, caused the following error message [root@localhost caterpillar]# fedup --network 22--product=nonproduct usage: fedup <SOURCE> [options] fedup: error: unrecognized arguments: --product=nonproduct Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.1-1.fc21
--product isn't recognized (or needed) on systems that already have a product installed. You're running F21, so you already have a product installed.
What product is KDE? It's not workstation, cloud, or server. It seems like it is nonproduct. What about minimal install? Also not workstation, cloud, or server, and yet I get this same error message with --product=nonproduct so I have no idea what that option is used for if not for these two use cases.
Did you try without that option? I believe that was only necessary to get to F21.
I tried minimal install without --product and it appears to work, but man fedup says --product=nonproduct is valid so something is still confused or confusing at the least.
IIUIC, you don't (even can't) use --product when upgrading from F21 or later, regardless of what product or non-product (KDE, minimal, etc) are you on. It will just work. The fedup man page says: Required Arguments --product [cloud,server,workstation,nonproduct] Specify the Fedora flavor to target for upgrades. Required for updating pre-F21 systems. I agree that this is slightly confusing. It says it is required pre-F21, but it doesn't say you should not (cannot) use it post-F21. And it's listed as a required argument in any case. If you find this too confusing, please reopen this bug and adjust the summary (or report a new bug) and ask Will to either clarify that more in the man page (specifically saying that this option is not supported on F21->F22 upgrades and higher), or removing this man page option completely from .fc21 version of fedup and higher. Thanks.

The problem is that there are no instructions for upgrading with Fedup in the installation guide ( https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/Installation_Guide/chap-upgrading.html#sect-upgrading-fedora-fedup ) And that the wiki page referred to in the installation Guide is incomplete: Start the upgrade prep by executing following commands sudo yum update fedup fedora-release sudo fedup --network 21 --product=[workstation | server| cloud | nonproduct] Once the preparations have completed, check the /var/log/fedup.log file if any errors show up in the output from fedup https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp
