Description Adam Williamson 2012-11-08 10:16:30 UTC 
As it will not be possible to preupgrade from F17 to anything else, fedup should obsolete preupgrade for F17 onwards. It could probably also provide /usr/bin/preupgrade as a symlink to fedup, I guess.

fedup.spec:

> #Provides:       preupgrade

PackageKit parses /usr/share/preupgrade/releases.list . It also runs /usr/bin/preupgrade if there's an upgrade available. (*)

Suggestion: releases.list can be provided by either PackageKit or fedup. Then it will be trivial to make PackageKit run fedup instead. (Though it will have to fall back to xdg-open <url with instructions> until there's a GUI.)

I have dropped the preupgrade dep from F19 PackageKit after discussing it with hughsie:

Fedup 0.7.3-4 and later (in F19 and higher) will Obsolete packagekit.

If anyone is wondering, Will surely means preupgrade, not packagekit.

Correct.

Will should also remember not to comment on bugs when he hasn't eaten all day.
