Upgrading Fedora Products
This section has some notes on upgrading to Fedora products. Fedora 21 introduced three new products: Workstation, Server and Cloud. If you are unfamiliar with them, you may wish to refer to Fedora.next first.
Do I need to specify or worry about products when upgrading from Fedora 21 or newer?
No, you don't need to specify a product for upgrades of Fedora 21 or later. Since the products were introduced in Fedora 21, all Fedora 21+ installs have a product identifier (even if that's 'nonproduct'). You only need to specify this when upgrading from a release older than Fedora 21 (which is no longer supported).
Upgrading with DNF system upgrade plugin
Upgrading directly using yum or DNF
Upgrading directly from one release to the next using dnf
(or yum
for releases before Fedora 22) is not explicitly tested by Fedora QA and issues with it are not considered blockers for a release, but in practise it works for many users, probably due to our packaging guidelines providing detailed information on maintaining upgradability. To learn more, refer to Upgrading Fedora using dnf or yum.
Upgrading from a pre-release (Alpha, Beta, or other development snapshot) to the final release
If you are using a pre-release of Fedora, and want to know more about upgrading to the final release, refer to Upgrading from pre-release to final.
Tips
- Ensure you have a good backup of your data.
- Ensure you read the Release Notes carefully before attempting an upgrade.
Rawhide
Rawhide is a development version of Fedora that is updated daily. It is suitable for people who are developing or testing Fedora before broad public release.
- To move from Rawhide to a stable release, refer to Upgrading from pre-release to final.
- To move from a stable release to Rawhide, refer to Releases/Rawhide.
