Good morning,
I'm planning and preparing to upgrade my workstation from Fedora Workstation 40 to Fedora Workstation 41. The ipgrade is planned for next Thursday. I have read the instructions in docs.fedoraproject.org/.... I see that dnf is getting a major upgrade from dnf4 to dnf5. I have 3 questions.
1. Before the upgrade.
Before doing the first step ("dnf system-upgrade download...") of upgrade proper, do I need to do anything beyond what is stated in the instructions?
No, apart from do a full upgrade to f40 first, just in case there was a required fix to make system-upgrade work.
I upgraded to f40 lat October. Doing a "dnf upgrade" just before "dnf system-upgrade" is in the instructions.
2. During the upgrade.
After doing the first step ("dnf system-upgrade download...") of upgrade proper,
and before doing the next step ("dnf system-upgrade reboot") of the upgrade proper,
do I need to do anything beyond what is stated in the instructions?
No.
3. After the upgrade proper.
After the upgrade proper is done,
and before doing any weekly patches (in f40: "dnf upgrade"),
is there anything I need to do so the weekly patches will work properly, such as
- database (e.g. the rpm database) changes?
- configuration file changes?
and so on?
No.
Barry
Thank-you, Barry.
