Package: release-notes Severity: wishlist Debian Documention Team,
Chapter 4. "Upgrades from Debian 10 (buster)" has commands spread out over 20 pages. I think many (most?) admins would enjoy a quick checklist or summary. How about a section like the one below at the end of the Chapter? Thank you! Daniel Lewart Urbana, Illinois --- Basic System Quick Upgrade For a basic system: * Latest stable point release * Debian packages only * No APT pinning * Sufficient disk space (1 GB free for /var) the following upgrade procedures should work. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian &releasename; main [contrib] [non-free] deb http://security.debian.org &releasename;-security main [contrib] [non-free] deb http://deb.debian.org/debian &releasename;-updates main [contrib] [non-free] # apt update # apt autoclean # apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs 2>&1 | tee &releasename;1.log # apt full-upgrade 2>&1 | tee &releasename;2.log # apt autopurge # reboot Review and clean up: # find /etc -name '*.dpkg-*' -o -name '*.ucf-*' -o -name '*.merge-error' ###
