Possible to upgrade from Fedora 10 with preupgrade? Posted Apr 28, 2009 20:56 UTC (Tue) by epa (subscriber, #39769) [Link]
Does the 'preupgrade' tool included with Fedora 10 allow you to install the Fedora 11 preview? The release notes imply it's possible, but I don't see the preview release in the list of possible upgrades. Is there some other step needed?

Alpha/Beta/Snapshot/Preview etc are sanitized snapshots of Rawhide. Select Rawhide in preupgrade to upgrade to the latest development tree.

If I select Rawhide, won't that mean that after F11 is released my system will continue to track the development tree?

Thanks for the link. If I understand correctly, you use preupgrade to upgrade your system to Rawhide, which at the moment happens to be the same as the preview release. Then when F11 is released, a new yum config is pushed out so your system stops tracking Rawhide and becomes official F11.
