The process to copy cooker repositories to rolling just finished.
The time has come.
Current ROME users please stop any update.
If you plan to convert your system, which receives updates from cooker branch, to real ROME rolling release you should switch the update channel to rolling right now.
Also, please give us the time to make some testing so that we can provide advices and workaround if anything will need of some fine-tuning.
Change repos but do not dsync your system yet. We need to do some testing and maybe fix a thing or 2. After changing repos check and be sure you only have rolling repos by running in terminal (Konsole) dnf repolist.
Example from one of my ROME systems:
And ROME (Rolling) users should always use dsync to upgrade your system. Like:
$ sudo dnf --refresh dsync
or perhaps better:
$ sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf dsync
There are technical reasons for this. To keep ROME rolling the distro-release* packages will be upgraded from time to time. To be sure dnf syncs with the latest in distro-release* package list we have to use the dsync command and not use upgrade. This is also why you don’t want to use dnfdragora or Discover to upgrade a ROME (or Cooker) system. If you use dnfdrake you need to edit the upgrade command to use dsync rather than upgrade.
dsync is an abbreviation of distro-sync. Either is fine but I prefer the shorter command. 
Users that want to upgrade an existing Rolling system can follow this guide.
all went very well here , 
[andy@n17 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf dsync
83 files removed

Complete!
Glad to hear that worked fine
Both of my Rolling VirtualBoxes (from ABF: Plasma # 1286, Xfce # 1308, converted from Cooker), are running quite well. Using kernel-desktop-gcc with both.
It’s working perfectly on my laptop thanks to ben79’s guide.
Awesome work!
