As usual time in couple of days to upgrade to Fedora 17. Release schedule is for 05/22 and so its just around the corner. So, if you are looking at upgrading using yum, then make sure that you visit this page.

There are some changes in latest version that will not allow you to upgrade without executing few commands manually and that page lists them. And if you are too brave and just want the steps and the command then here it is:

Lets first install the rpmorphan package:

    <td>
      <div class="bash codecolorer">
        &nbsp;<span class="kw2">sudo</span> <span class="kw2">yum install</span> rpmorphan
      </div>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

and here is the description of the package:

rpmorphan finds "orphaned"[1] packages on your system. It determines which packages have no other packages depending on their installation, and shows you a list of these packages. It intends to be clone of deborphan Debian tools for rpm packages.

It will try to help you to remove unused packages, for example:
