Fedora Upgrader Redux

Inspired by fedup and my wish for Fedora releasing a rolling release option.

fupr has reached EOL

Go and use dupr instead.

How to install

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DokterW/fupr/master/install_fupr.sh

chmod +x install_fupr.sh

./install_fupr.sh

More about fupr

fupr goes beyond what fedup was meant to do. It is more of an overlay of dnf to make it easier to keep your system up to date.

Additionally it also has support for flatpak and doghum has been merged with fupr.

fupr will eventually change name soon-ish. I just need to do some more testing and tweaking.

Read more about the risks of installing a beta here.

Instead of typing sudo dnf upgrade --refresh, you just type fupr update.

You can also forget about typing

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=XX
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

Just type fupr upgrade, and it also checks if a new released is available before it does the system upgrade. If not, it just updates the current version you have installed.

fupr <command> <args>

Changelog

2017-07-24

• Added (partial) doghum support

2017-05-12

• Removed schedule feature. fupr will be much faster now as it won't fetch from the schedule page.

2017-03-24

• For the last two or three release Fedora has change how they name Beta and Final Release in their schedule. I have now removed the schedule checker. It will only show the dates from the schedule dump. Also, when doing a release upgrade it's up to you to know if it has been released or not, no check will be done. This feature might be re-added if schedule for 28 and 29 uses the same labelling.

2017-01-26

• Instead install you can write in, instead of update up, instead upgrade upg, instead search srch sr, instead of check-update chup, instead of schedule schd, instead remove rm.
• Minor fixes.

2017-11-30

• Now fupr also checks for the Final Release release date (ff the final release has the same name as last schedule).
• Tweaked it to speed up things. Fetching information from schedule only once instead of several times.
• If You haven't upgraded to the latest and the Fedora Wiki has been updated, it will not try to skip a version when checking schedule and upgrading.

2017-10-09

• Added check-update.

2017-10-07

• Tweaked the code a bit.
• Before upgrading, you will be asked if you want to go through with it.

2017-10-06

• Separated regular update and update+reload daemon(s).
• If you check the schedule when running the recent fedora release, instead of showing the release date it will just indicate you're already running the latest Fedora release.
• Fixed the regex for filtering out the beta release date, so it locks to the exact date, not allowing it to be greedy. If no date is found, it will notify that accurately.

2017-10-05

• You can now reload daemons after you have updated your system.
• You can also upgrade a specific package/rpm.

2017-10-04

• Added new commands, install & search, because why not.

2017-10-03

• Before doing an upgrade a check for a decided date and if you have upgraded already, then default to a regular system update.
• Checks if you are root or not, if not, sudo is added to update/upgrade commands.

2017-10-02

• Released!
