Description of problem: Currently (at the time of F18 Beta) it seems necessary to explicitly set instrep: --instrepo=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/18-Beta/Fedora/<arch>/os to do an update to F18 Beta. It would be better if fedup new about test releases. eg supported say "fedup-cli --network 18-beta". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.7.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to upgrade to f18 beta # fedup-cli --instrepo 18 Actual results: : (1131/1131): zlib-1.2.7-9.fc18.x86_64.rpm | 88 kB 00:00 getting boot images... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/fedup-cli", line 285, in <module> main(args) File "/bin/fedup-cli", line 236, in main raise NotImplementedError("use --instrepo or --skipkernel") NotImplementedError: use --instrepo or --skipkernel Expected results: fedup to know where to look for Beta upgrade files. Additional info: It would be better if fedup downloaded the instrepo images first before downloading all the packages...
That URL isn't right - it doesn't point to a repo with the upgrade.img in it. I assume you were getting that from the release notes - I've already talked to the docs team about getting it fixed but the instructions on the wiki should be up to date: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp
Should be fixed in git, now that the mirrormanager changes are live: 1) fedup-0.7.2 downloads instrepo stuff before packages, and 2) it should be able to find instrepo without user intervention.
