I forgot two things. There's this quote from Kalev that's worth mentioning: > With my packager hat on, it would be great if we could get this in the > packaging guidelines as well, so that there's a canonical source that > says that obsoletes/conflicts etc must be preserved to support upgrades > across 2 releases.

What do you think about pushing this into packaging guidelines? Second, I'd like to highlight that gnome-software is not going to use dnf-plugin-system-upgrade, but libhif instead. So we will need to test both approaches (that's not specific to skip-release upgrades, but the combinations multiply). So this is going to need more resources in OpenQA, and possibly some more human resources when debugging issues. I'm not too happy about it, after all the effort we put into dnf-plugin-system-upgrade. Still, I think that supporting skip-release upgrades doesn't add that much overhead, and it's worth it). -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
