The update script is already in the Unstable repository for opt-in testing. After it is synced to the Shannon (Stable) repository on October 17, users can opt-in to run the script on their systems for wider feedback and testing. One week after that, assuming that no major blockers have been found, on the sync of October 24, all users on Shannon will automatically undergo the epoch transition.
Opting in
Opting in to undergo the transition is really easy. All you have to do is run this command in your favorite terminal:
echo EPOCH_ENABLE=yes | sudo tee /etc/sysconfig/epoch
Once you do that, the script will run during the next boot.
I have similar question concerning opt in.
Is my understanding correct that users in stable aka shannon can opt in after sync of october 17 and users of unstable now?
Can I run
echo EPOCH_ENABLE=yes | sudo tee /etc/sysconfig/epoch
now on stable and it then happens after october 17 sync?
Also, could I switch to unstable, undergo the epoch now and switch back to stable right away.
In this case, would I then add repo polaris instead of shannon?
