BIG fat warning remind: (repeat never hurts and saves headaches)

ROME users attention please:
The process to copy cooker repositories to rolling (ROME) started.
We’ll keep you informed when it will be the time to perform distro-sync again.
Stay tuned.
Because of the significant upgrade this time, please:
- read carefully the notes posted above in this same topic
- start the upgrade process from console command which can create the transaction full log, example
sudo dnf clean all ; dnf clean all ; dnf repolist
sudo dnf --refresh --allowerasing distro-sync 2>&1| tee dsync-log.txt
Properly report issues
Should you encounter any problem, console displaying conflicts errors or any weird message hold on trying to upgrade; open a new topic with a descriptive title in Support category and attach the full dsync-log.txt
file. Not an excerpt, not a summary, not what you think is relevant. The full log means all the log
Chance are that the testers already faced the issue and found a fix or a workaround.
Depending on installed packages, it may also be necessary to temporarily remove the falkon-kde package, because falkon is moving to the Plasma 6 version even on systems using Plasma 5 desktops – the Qt5 version of QtWebEngine is just too far behind to be useful anymore.
sudo dnf remove falkon-kde
Take this quote seriously folks.
We are close to giving the OK to proceed but we are not there yet.

Please note:
We renamed the Unsupported (misleading name) repositories to Extra.
So the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/
must be updated.
If at the end of the process we are presented with a series of questions like this one, mentioning the configuration files in → /etc/yum.repos.d/ ← we will have to answer (Y)
- Yes -
