Qubes R2 rc1 comes with new template based on Fedora 20. You can upgrade existing template according to procedure described [here](/wiki/FedoraTemplateUpgrade).

Note: be sure that the VM used as a update-downloading-vm (by default its the firewallvm based on the default template) has been updated to the latest qubes packages, specifically `qubes-core-vm-2.1.31` or later. This doesn't imply that the VM must already be upgraded to fc20 -- for Dom0 upgrade we could still use an fc18-based VM (updatevm) it is only important to install the latest Qubes packages there.
