Rock users may want to pay attention to this or better yet test this as this is close to what will be the next Rock/5.1/6.0 release.

Latest ROME/rolling package upgrade is complete. It is now safe for user to dsync or disto-sync their ROME/rolling system. There are special instructions for OMLx VirtualBox users to avoid upgrading to virtualbox-7.0.16-1. Please read the instructions in the link provided.

Very important to read this article. The ROME upgrade is more involved this time.

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.

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.
