Most recently with fedup and before that with preupgrade and I don't recall any problems.
I read the Phoronix article you referenced and also the post in Fedora-devel mailing list that the Phoronix article referenced. I don't understand what problem they are referring to. I subscribe to Planet Fedora RSS feed and I don't recall seeing anything about problems with fedup. Only thing I've noticed is that there is a package cache in /var containing a gig or two that becomes obsolete after the upgrade is complete yet is not automatically removed. Chris: I just upgraded from F21 -> F22 (using fedup). I use KDE as my desktop environment. (I know that you use KDE). F21 used KDE 4. F22 uses Plasma 5. Most of my settings for KDE itself and for some KDE apps (e.g. Konsole, Knotes) were lost. After the fact I read the F22 release notes, which said that the KDE migration was supposed to be smooth. For Konsole, the config settings transitioned to a new location, so they can be manually copied. I haven't figured how to salvage Knotes. -- Phenom II X2 550 | Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 | 2 x 4G DDR3 1333 | WD Black 1 TB | GeForce 210 _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org https://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College * Jul 8 - Mad Science Fair V @ Lourdes Aug 5 - Minimal Openstack @ Lourdes Sep 2 - Let'S Go Phishing
