But this works: > # fedup-cli --network 18 --debuglog fedup.log --instrepo http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/18/x86_64/os I think fedup now doesn't work with repositories that doesn't contain a package repository. It used to work before, it's even mentioned in the test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_upgrade_fedup_cli_previous_desktop " The URL needs to point to the initrd.img and vmlinuz, but not necessarily all rpm packages. " Is that an intentional change or a bug? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedup-0.7.2-1.fc17.noarch

IIRC, the TC/RC dirs on secondary01 (dl.fedoraproject/pub/alt/) are not made into repos which is required for fedup. > But this works: > > > # fedup-cli --network 18 --debuglog fedup.log --instrepo http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/18/x86_64/os This is expected and is updated with every TC/RC - this is repo-ized and will work with fedup. > I think fedup now doesn't work with repositories that doesn't contain a > package repository.

" Some of that change was made yesterday due to a misunderstanding but it was never very clear, I'll fix it today.

So it should generally have close to an up-to-date upgrade.img in it (at the moment fedup-dracut-0.7.1-1 is stable, so it's not quite up to date, though)
I confirmed with rel-eng that the TC/RC dirs are not supposed to be valid repos. That makes this expected behavior for now and I'm closing as NOTABUG. If we want to test fedup-dracut builds that aren't yet in stable, we'll have to figure out another method of building/distributing them (fedorapeople, smoke builds etc.)
