| [Saint] | Hi there - what, if anything, is the valid update syntax to take 16.04 up to 16.10 from the commandline please? | 13:56 |
|---|---|---|
| [Saint] | 'do-release-upgrade -d' yields no fruit for yakkety. | 13:56 |
| [Saint] | is there something blindingly obvious that I am missing? | 13:57 |
| Pici | [Saint]: Nope. 16.10 isn't yet in the meta-release file, so do-release-upgrade won't prompt you. You'll need to change your sources.list manually and run a dist/full-upgrade yourself. | 14:04 |
| [Saint] | Aha, right. Thank you. Truth told I just jumped the shark and did that anyway. | 14:04 |
| [Saint] | Good to know I was on the right track. | 14:04 |
| TJ- | Pici: it is actually, I just checked, well in meta-release-development | 14:05 |
| Pici | oh? | 14:05 |
| TJ- | not in the -lts version of course | 14:05 |
| Pici | [Saint]: what TJ- said then. | 14:05 |
| TJ- | so maybe the config needs altering from lts-only to allow all | 14:05 |
| [Saint] | Hm? | 14:05 |
| Pici | TJ-: wasn't there when I looked the other day, I guess I should have rechecked. | 14:05 |
| [Saint] | So I do...? | 14:05 |
| Pici | modify /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to say normal not lts. | 14:06 |
| [Saint] | still good with batched editing sources.list by hand, or, is there a simpler method? | 14:06 |
| Pici | and then do-release-upgrade -d will wrok | 14:06 |
| [Saint] | ah - is there any functional benefit to doing that over just firing sed at sources.list? | 14:07 |
| [Saint] | I have around a dozen machines to do this on. | 14:07 |
| TJ- | the release-upgrade specifies a new UpgradeTool to fetch | 14:08 |
| Pici | At this time? probably not. But do-release-upgrade does have the ability to run special scripts that might not be possible within the deb framework. | 14:08 |
| Pici | It also does some stuff to PPAs | 14:08 |
| TJ- | see the file it actually reads on the server (scroll to the end) http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development | 14:08 |
| [Saint] | there we go - I got it by editing /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and doing s/lts/normal/g | 14:09 |
| [Saint] | thank you Pici and TJ- | 14:10 |
| [Saint] | oooop - I forgot about the bajillion "foo is modified from the original foo - what do you want to do about it?" prompts. | 14:31 |
| [Saint] | I thought this would be able to be done with limited manual intervention. | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | hiyas all | 14:40 |
