Fedora 42 Beta Upgrade Success + Question about Update Testing Repos

Ask Fedora

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I upgraded from Fedora 41 MATE to 42 on my laptop. I tried it in a VM first, and when everything went well, I made the switch. Finally, Proton VPN and the protonvpn-stable repository were aligned with Fedora 42. And Proton VPN Plus works very well in Fedora 42 MATE.

One thing I was wondering about: besides the normal repositories, I noticed that the Fedora update testing repositories, rpmfusion free, and rpmfusion non-free are active. Should these update.testing repositories remain active or should they be disabled?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Regards,
Mauro

Yes, as long as it is beta. Afterwards you can switch it of while using the command:

sudo dnf distro-sync

For more details see in the manual below:

p.s.
I added Beta to the Title of your topic, to be clear that this step is just used if you upgrade while beta/prerelease.

Testing repos will be disabled with an update around release day. So all you need to do is keep updating.
