[13:56] <[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.
[13:57] <[Saint]> is there something blindingly obvious that I am missing?
[14:04] <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.
[14:05] <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...?
[14:06] <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
[14:07] <[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.
[14:08] <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
[14:09] <[Saint]> there we go - I got it by editing /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and doing s/lts/normal/g
[14:10] <[Saint]> thank you Pici and TJ-
[14:31] <[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.
[14:40] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
