I mean, is there a standard operating procedure for updating from one release to the new stable? Or is it only a matter of what the release notes say for each update?
I have been informed that it could be disastrous to simply change sources.list from "etch" to "stable" and wait for the switch to lenny. I had been under the impression that there is an upgrade period for every release in which transitional packages are included with staged package upgrades for the new stable release. That then would represent the user's safest bet at not getting stuck with an expiring OS. If it is a case by case issue, it seems to put the user in an odd situation. The user is stuck with an expiring OS, as sarge just did, or the user must relearn the upgrade process for each new release. TIA for any insight! :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
