[Discuss] FedUp to be retired

[R. Potter]

Wow, right after I try using it, it is decided it no longer is the best 
way to upgrade...lol

"FedUp no more!

FedUp is the cleverly-named Fedora Updater, created as part of the 
Anaconda rewrite for Fedora 17. Anaconda is the system installer, and 
it was intentionally decided that it’s complicated enough without 
throwing upgrade into the mix. So: FedUp, instead.

Last week (but after I’d written 5tFTW), FedUp developer Will Woods 
announced that it’s time to retire it. Instead, the systemd offline 
updates process will be used, and that will be integrated into our 
standard update tools, so doing an upgrade from Fedora Workstation will 
be just like any other update in GNOME Software (except, of course, 
bigger).

Details need to be worked out, of course, including a command-line 
solution (possibly eventually still named fedup), and what exactly the 
Software UI will look like."
