Fedora core 5 updates

When an update is complete, the previous OS deployment remains on disk. If an update causes issues, you can use it as a fallback. This is a manual operation that requires human intervention and console access. When the bootloader menus appears, select the relevant OS entry in the menu. To permanently revert to the previous OS deployment, log into the target node, and run rpm-ostree rollback -r.

This operation marks the previous OS deployment as the default, and immediately reboots into it. Want to help? Learn how to contribute to Fedora Docs. Edit this Page. By default, the OS performs continual auto-updates via two components:. Wariness to updates The local Zincati agent periodically checks with a remote service to see when updates are available. OS update finalization To finalize an OS update, the machine must reboot.

As soon as the update is downloaded and staged locally, immediately reboot to apply an update. When the pre-release is released as final, the fedora-repos packages will be updated and your updates-testing repository will be disabled. Once this happens on the release day , it is highly recommended to run sudo dnf distro-sync in order to align package versions with the current release. Rawhide and Branched are the development releases of Fedora.

They are suitable for users developing or testing Fedora before public release. You should read through those pages carefully before deciding to run Branched or Rawhide.

See the Fedora Life Cycle for more information on how the whole Fedora cycle works from Rawhide, to Branched, to the milestone releases Beta , to the 'Final' release. Fedora strongly discourages running an end-of-life release on any production system, or any system connected to the public internet. You should never allow a production Fedora deployment to reach end-of-life in the first place.

With that in mind, if you do have an end-of-life release installed on a system you cannot just discard or re-deploy, you can attempt to upgrade it, though this is not officially tested or supported.

If you have Fedora 20 or earlier, you will have to perform at least part of the upgrade with bare yum. You can either use that method to upgrade to Fedora 21 or later and then use DNF system upgrade to upgrade from there to a currently-supported release, or just use bare dnf or yum for the entire upgrade process. Note that when upgrading from Fedora 20 or earlier, you are both upgrading from an end-of-life release and using a not-officially-recommended upgrade mechanism; such upgrades are very much performed 'at your own risk' and may well require various kinds of manual intervention to run and clean up the upgraded system, if they work at all.

Fedora releases up to Fedora 17 included upgrade functionality in the Fedora installer, anaconda. If you are attempting to upgrade from Fedora 16 or older, it is highly recommended to upgrade to Fedora 16 and perform an installer upgrade from Fedora 16 to Fedora 17 before upgrading any further. To upgrade using the installer, boot the system from a network install or DVD image for the target release, and run through the initial steps of the install process.

After you select storage devices the installer should offer you the option to upgrade the installed system. If your installation is located on a 'specialized' storage device, be sure to configure and select it. Want to help? Learn how to contribute to Fedora Docs.
