After upgrading users must uninstall OpenZFS and then reinstall it
from the matching repository as described in this section.
The configuration of the current release package may have already made an
updated package available, but the package manager may not know to install
that package if the version number isn't newer. When upgrading, users
should verify that the *kmod-zfs* package is providing suitable kernel
modules, reinstalling the *kmod-zfs* package if necessary.

The current release package uses `$releasever` rather than specify a particular
minor release as previous release packages did. Typically `$releasever` will
resolve to just the major version (e.g. `8`), and the resulting repository URL
will be aliased to the current minor version (e.g. `8.7`), but you can specify
`--releasever` to use previous repositories. ::
