ENG | Upgrading Fedora 42 to 44
ENG | Upgrading Fedora 42 to 44
This article is not so much about Fedora update, like stuff that can go wrong.
At April I have some issues with podman and systemd which I need to eventually resolve, unless they resolved themselves.
Fedora update
This step is easy. It just takes 20-25 minutes. Guide is here
sudo dnf upgrade --refreshsudo rebootsudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=44- this takes few minutes and may fail on some conflicts such astuned-pandtlpsudo dnf offline reboot- this takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes on my i5-6500T with cca 3300 packages
Jekyll/Chirpy and Ruby
My script ended by several errors

I tried deleting ~/gems directory, running commands such as this that always failed by version solving failed message.

Resolving dependencies...
Could not find compatible versions
Because every version of jekyll-theme-chirpy depends on Ruby ~> 3.1
and Gemfile depends on jekyll-theme-chirpy >= 0,
Ruby ~> 3.1 is required.
So, because current Ruby version is = 4.0.1,
version solving has failed.
Wait … I have Ruby 4.0.1, Jekyll requires greater than 3.1 or … not. Actually ~> 3.1 means that last number could be greater than 1. At this point I updated Jekyll expecting that problem will be resolved by a new version.

In a future version of Bundler, running `bundle` without argument will no longer run `bundle install`.
Instead, the `cli_help` command will be displayed. Please use `bundle install` explicitly for scripts like CI/CD.
You can use the future behavior now with `bundle config set default_cli_command cli_help --global`,
or you can continue to use the current behavior with `bundle config set default_cli_command install --global`.
This message will be removed after a default_cli_command value is set.
