Description
This test case tests upgrading from the current release (Fedora 41) to the branched release (Fedora 42) using the Fedup CLI.
How to test
- Perform an installation of the stable release (e.g. Fedora 41) with default partitioning (no less than 500MB for
/boot
), selecting the default package set, or using the default live image. - Do a full system update and reboot
- Install the latest version of
fedup
from the stable or updates repository - If you are doing pre-release testing, find the installation repository URL for the compose you are testing. If you are testing the current compose, the correct location should be https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide-20241223.n.1/rawhide/(arch)/os - replace (arch) with the correct arch
- Start the upgrade prep by executing:
sudo fedup --network <version> (--instrepo <URL>)
- <version> is the version of Fedora you are upgrading to (currently 42)
- If you are doing pre-release testing, include the --instrepo parameter, with <URL> as the location found in the previous step
- If you need to use a local mirror to test a brand new change, start the upgrade prep by executing the following command:
sudo fedup --network <version> --instrepo <URL> --disablerepo=fedora --repourl fedora-local=<URL-LOCAL>
- <URL-LOCAL> is the location of a local fedora repo if needed for faster response speeds
- Check
/var/log/fedup.log
file to see if any errors show up in the output fromfedup
- Reboot the system if
fedup
has completed without error - Once the system reboots, there should be a new entry in the boot menu titled System Upgrade
- Select the System Upgrade option from the boot menu
- The system should boot into the upgrade process and a fedup progress screen should be displayed
- Pressing Esc should switch from the graphical progress screen to the text progress information display
- Once the upgrade process has completed, the system should reboot and an option to boot the new release should be on the grub menu
- Log in to the upgraded system, open a terminal, file browser, or other system applications.
Expected Results
fedup
should run to completion, without error- The upgrade process should complete and reboot without user assistance beyond selecting
System Upgrade
from the boot menu - The system should be upgraded to new version without error
- The upgraded system should meet all relevant Fedora Release Criteria
- Typical desktop applications should display and work correctly
- Running through the desktop test cases would be good for verification.
