Fedora 8 upgrade continues…..
Category: Fedora | 
5 Comments
Upgrading to Fedora 7 didn’t take this long and neither did Fedora 6, but that’s ok - as long as it happens. It’s nearly done with the dependency checking. It’s been getting closer and closer to the end of the bar. Part of me thinks it may be stuck, but after waiting 10 hours to get this far, I don’t want to stop if there’s a chance it will start installing tonight or even tomorrow morning. Before the next upgrade I hope to have more RAM, as I think that’s probably part of the reason why it’s taking so long. Just wanted to update how long it’s taking both for anyone else in this situation and for myself so when Fedora 9 comes out, I can remember how long Fedora 8 took.
I’ve seen some stuff on the mailing lists that implies Fedora 8 seems to be taking a really long time to upgrade for a lot of people….

I tried upgrading Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 a few times when it first came out and it kept getting stuck at 26% in the dependency checking phase. I went on the fedora IRC room and I was told to remove my non-Fedora repos. I didn’t listen because that’s always the first thing they tell you to do and, in my experience, it never seems to be the true culprit. Then I found out online that the update servers were swamped when Fedora 8 first came out. Also, freshrpms didn’t appear to have any RPMs yet for Feodra 8. Tried it again today and it appears to be going much better. It’s taken around 2.5 hours, but the dependency check is almost done. I’m hoping to be able to upgrade today. This last part has been especially slow, so I’m hoping that within the next hour or two I’ll be able to start the actual upgrade process. I’ll post what happens here in case others are having similar problems.
For information’s sake, the extra repos I’m using are livna for nvidia support and freshrpms for gstreamer restricted stuff, cinelerra, and a couple of emulators.
