I performed the release upgrade from Rock/4.2 to Rolling with dnfdrake.
This is a virtual machine, and I have no nvidia or other drivers.

The whole process from start to finish is documented with screenshots.

Hello everyone, since few days is available in the repositories dnfdrake version 1.19.8.

Changelog:

  • A ‘Skip’ button has been added during the loading of the lists, this button allows you to skip the operation if you think that this is not necessary, for example if you have to remove a package or otherwise activities in which it is not essential to have the updated lists. This button is enabled for only 3 seconds since the creation of the lists starts; once started, it is disabled because it is not safe to stop the operation while running.

  • Support for rpm installation has been added. Now it is possible to associate DnfDrake as default program to open rpms. At startup the program will be prepared for package installation.

  • A reinstall function has been added that allows you to reinstall a package that has already been installed. The function can be enabled from the ‘Extra’ window.

  • The resume function has been added to the distro-sync command, which allows you to recover an update if, for example, the operation fails due to connection problems. In case of doubt it is better to run the operation from scratch.

  • Various bug fixes and corrections.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Is the preference for checking package names in Cooker and Rolling, now dnfdrake, rather than dnfdragora?

For me yes. Use it and you decide :wink:

Perhaps, I should have asked if dnfdrake is an official OpenMandriva package, first.

@epp Not official (not yet, at least).
I think also because gambas stack is in /unsupported repository.

PS>
Oh, well, it also depends on what you mean by ‘official’
What is sure is that’s an original project, not imported or copied from whatsoever in the world :grin:
