I know that 17-18 began the fedup only usage, but one of the accepted features is to keep preupgrade. Fedora 19 pre-Alpha has been branched. The fedup page details 17-18. It is specific to 18. I tried changing the version for the release server for fedup-cli, but to no avail.

Could not parse metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19&arch=x86_64 error was No repomd file

I manually edited /etc/yum.repos.d/{fedora.repo,fedora-updates.repo} to point at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/19/x86_64/. This bypassed that previous error to get "if set(updates) != set(pkgs):

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable"

Also, fedup is at 0.7.1 in 18, but is purported to be fedup-0.7.2-1.fc17

Fedup documentation.

F19 was just branched a few days ago. I'm not sure you should expect fedup to work at this point... I think that it's important to note, for posterity, that pre-release versions of fedora really should only be used for testing purposes. More testers are a good thing, but it probably isn't a good idea for casual users.

Once the Fedora 19 is officially released you can do:

$ sudo fedup --network 19

But if you don't want to wait until the final release, grab the latest compose like this:

$ sudo fedup --network 19 --instrepo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/19/x86_64/os/

The first command works with the beta now

What if the "system upgrade" GRUB entry doesn't show up?

Excuse my ignorance, what is that command "sudo --network ..."? Never seen before, and it doesn't work either.

@memento It should be sudo fedup --instrepo=... probably.

@memento, @Bucic: good catch, I just edited the answer to fix it.

Progress is being made for this. bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922268 & comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/177210

alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/19/x86_64/os/ will contain the image before other locations. One might consider using this link for his .repo files.

I posted a comment to it listing version of the package and O.S. I was wondering whether anyone had tested any former method of upgrading.

At the time of posting, F19 does not exist. There is not a release to upgrade to. How is that a bug?

FedUp tool was introduced since Fedora 18 to upgrade your system, but it will work with Fedora 17. For fedora 16 and older verions, to upgrade fedora to newer verion, we used “Preupgrade”

Before you do anything, backup your important data first to external hard drive, usb disk or to any another machine.

# yum install fedup -y
# yum update
# reboot

After your system rebooted, run

# fedup-cli --reboot --network 19
