Fedora 33: Is It Safe?

[bitspiel]

(With a hat tip to Marathon Man.)

I build from scratch. Currently running on Fedora 31. But I am toying with the idea of moving to Fedora 33 (would be a fresh install not via upgrade/update). I have a lot of Dell Optiplex 3010 machines that are "functionally" identical so it is trivial for me to try a new OS version.

So, before I start, anyone have any caveats regarding Fedora 33?

Thanks in advance!

I can only tell you that the MythTV Buildbots have F33 and it's compiling OK.

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_31 may be of value and there
are other Release Notes for earlier versions.

My primary system is F33 and I have no problem building MythTV. The F33 buildbot is mine, and I also have a rawhide buildbot to catch build problems early.

Well I finally got around to moving to Fedora 33 and the only thing worth mentioning was some tweaks to my service "profile." The changes rotated around the adoption of NetworkManager.service and the abandoning of network.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=MythTV Backend Service
After=NetworkManager.service mysqld.service
Wants=httpd.service

[Service]
User=mythtv
Environment=HOME=/home/mythtv
StandardOutput=null
PIDFile=/home/mythtv/mythtvbackend.pid
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logpath /home/mythtv/logs --loglevel debug --pidfile /home/mythtv/mythtvbackend.pid
Type=forking
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillSignal=SIGTERM
Restart=always
RestartSec=15

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The aforementioned code should reside at /usr/lib/systemd/system and I typically name the contained file as mythtvbackend.service and should be owned by root.
