SIGs/LiveUpgrade

Live Upgrade Special Interest Group

Live upgrade SIG is a team of Fedora developers and users interested in making upgrades via yum work smoothly.

Mission

The purpose of this SIG is to make live upgrades a well tested and supported option within Fedora. This involves the following

• Often test upgrading to the current development branch of one of the test releases from the last two general releases and send reports to the fedora-test list and file any bug reports to http://bugzilla.redhat.com.

• Help track and fix packaging problems including lack of proper versioning (E-V-R), lack of proper obseletes etc that prevent smooth upgrades.

• Help others in the Fedora community workaround or better yet fix any upgrade issues.

• Document the live upgrade path and any issues including workarounds in the appropriate places.

• Help convince the Fedora team to make live upgrades a well supported option.
