would be nice if they had sent me a copy of their fixed version so i could fold their changes into my version. (of course, they're not obligated to. the script is public domain.) BTW, i have a new version, 0.32. versions 0.29 to 0.31 never got released - i had been waiting for user feedback before releasing it. anyway, this new version fixes a few bugs and I *hope* it can work even in cases where all the packages which have to be removed and upgraded are on "Hold" status. i didn't know about the --force-hold argument to dpkg until today. the new version is available from the usual sites, including http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/ and http://taz.net.au/autoup/ and various mirror sites. changelogs from 0.29-0.32: v0.29: 1998-08-15 (Craig Sanders) - changed all directory references from 'frozen' to 'stable' - fixed PKGS_NET problem (should have been $PKGS_NETBASE and $PKGS_NETSTD) - changed RMFILE to "/root/autoup.removed-$DATE" - fixed search for bo dpkg (for buzz upgrades). dpkg 1.4.0.8 lives in .../debian/dists/stable/main/upgrade-i386 now. note: still doesn't work for ftp upgrade. TODO. - fixed $FTP_DIR_2 - changed "^ii" search pattern to "^.i" when searching for installed -dev pkgs v0.30: 1998-08-15 (Craig Sanders) - really changed "^ii" search pattern to "^.i" v0.31: 1998-08-27 (Craig Sanders) - --force-hold added to $DPKG_ARGS and to the "$DPKG --remove" line v0.32: 1998-08-27 (Craig Sanders) - changed the displayed packages list as noted by Rob Hilliard. the diff between 0.28 and 0.32 is as follows: ---cut here--- --- autoup.sh 1998/07/23 09:46:14 0.28 +++ autoup.sh 1998/08/27 05:20:40 0.32 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # upgrade a libc5 (bo) machine to libc6 (hamm). # -# $Id: autoup.sh,v 0.28 1998/07/23 09:46:14 root Exp $ +# $Id: autoup.sh,v 0.32 1998/08/27 05:20:40 root Exp $ # # based on Scott Ellis' excellent "Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO" # document at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html @@ -46,14 +46,14 @@ #DPKG="echo dpkg" #LDCONFIG="echo ldconfig" -DPKG_ARGS="-iBE --force-overwrite" +DPKG_ARGS="-iBE --force-overwrite --force-hold" DATE=$(date +%m%d-%T) ARCH="binary-$(dpkg --print-installation-architecture)" FTP_SITE_1="ftp.debian.org" FTP_DIR_1="debian/hamm/hamm/$ARCH" FTP_SITE_2="ftp.infodrom.north.de" -FTP_DIR_2="pub/debian/hamm/hamm/$ARCH" +FTP_DIR_2="/pub/debian/hamm/hamm/$ARCH" # package variables @@ -93,8 +93,10 @@ current directory: ldso, libc5, libc6, timezones, locales, ncurses3.0, ncurses3.4, - libreadline2, libreadlineg2, bash, libg++272, dpkg, dpkg-dev, - dpkg-ftp, dpkg-mountable, libgdbm1, libgdbmg1, perl-base, and perl. + libreadline2, libreadlineg2, bash, libg++27, libg++272, + libstdc++2.8, dpkg, dpkg-dev, slang0.99.34, slang0.99.38, libgdbm1, + libgdbmg1, perl-base, perl, data-dumper, libnet-perl, dpkg-ftp, + dpkg-mountable, netbase, netstd.
