Hey, but that was not my understanding for lenny. I know that was how it used to be but now aren't we based on a 2-year of release fixed cycle? :-? http://www.debian.org/News/2009/20090729 In that announcement it can be read: "(...) Since Debian's last release happened on Feb. 14th 2009, there will only be approximately a one year period until its next release, Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 (codenamed "Squeeze"). This will be a one-time exception to the two-year policy in order to get into the new time schedule. To accommodate the needs of larger organisations and other users with a long upgrade process, the Debian project commits to provide the possibility to skip the upcoming release and do a skip-upgrade straight from Debian GNU/ Linux 5.0 ("Lenny") to Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (not yet codenamed)." So it seems to be feasible an update from lenny to wheezy, or so it seemed to me after reading the aforementioned note :-) I understand this is not the norm, but an exception for lenny in order to accomodate to the new development cycle. >> Now I feel old. > > I feel old because squeeze is the fifth Debian release I have used. 8-) True is that Lenny is my first Debian but in the meantime I started to feeling older in openSUSE since 2003 ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
