Dear Qubes Community,

A new Fedora 30 TemplateVM is now available. We previously announced
that Fedora 28 reached EOL [1] and encouraged users to upgrade to Fedora
29. Fedora 29 is still supported by the Fedora Project, so users may now
choose either Fedora 29 or 30 (or both) depending on their needs and
preferences. Instructions are available for upgrading from Fedora 29 to
30. [2] We also provide fresh Fedora 30 TemplateVM packages through the
official Qubes repositories, which you can get with the following
commands (in dom0).

Standard Fedora 30 TemplateVM:

$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-30

Minimal [3] Fedora 30 TemplateVM:

$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-30-minimal

After upgrading to a Fedora 30 TemplateVM, please remember to set all
qubes that were using the old template to use the new one. This can be
done in dom0 either with the Qubes Template Manager [4] or with the
qvm-prefs [5] command-line tool.

Can existing fedora-29 templates be upgraded in-place or do we need to download fresh ones and switch over all of our qubes?
