Since installing Dapper for several clients I've been wondering about
the path they need to take to migrate to the next LTS. (I realise that
there is a whole different discussion here about whether they should
upgrade or not - but at some stage that discussion stops when security
upgrades are no longer released.)
While I can imagine going on-site with a DVD with Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy
and Hardy CD iso files and doing the upgrade one at a time, this is
really not that appropriate, nor is it something that I could imagine an
end-user achieving without lots of headaches.
There is this spec:
* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lts-upgrades
* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgrades
This is what I'm talking about, but there does not appear to be a lot of
activity (yet). As subscribers to this spec go, I'm it at the moment.
The author is Michael Vogt and it was approved by Scott James Remnant.
Now I understand that resources are limited and that we're a little way
away from needing this functionality, but if I look back at the gap
between Edgy and Feisty, it was all over way too soon, so I suspect that
it would be useful to start some discussion about this.
I'm happy to stick up my hand to help.
