Major upgrade for ROME Febuary 25

Sunday 25 February 2024

[**ROME users attention please:*]

The process to copy cooker repositories to rolling (ROME) will begin soon.
[**We suggest to not update the system or install software until it’s finished.*]

We’ll keep you informed when it will be the time to perform distro-sync again.

The command that you will have to run in console is:
sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf --allowerasing dsync

As always when using --allowerasing pay attention to what packages are removed and write down the names of any you may wish to install again. Ususally there won’t be any as what [*should be removed] are packages that were renamed and so forth.

Comments and feedback:
Open new topic, with a descriptive title, in Support category.

Thanks.

[**Note:*] If you see any dialog about any configuration file changing please read the message. Usually the default choice is the safe choice. The files /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/gshadow »> [*always keep the existing file of those]. If you select to use the new file you will get an empty file and lose your users, groups, and passwords.
