Re: (dist)-upgrades

[Andrew Stone <andrew@drivenlogic.com.au>]

This is what I did:

I span up the official 64bit Squeeze AMI as detailed her:

https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile/ref=srh_res_product_vendor?ie=UTF8&id=890be55d-32d8-4bc8-9042-2b4fd83064d5

updated my apt sources and performed a full update, an noticed the  kernel remained on 2.6.

I figured it must be by design and moved on...

So instead:

git clone https://github.com/andsens/build-debian-cloud.git

[change into dir]

export EC2_ACCESS_KEY='XXX'; 

export EC2_SECRET_KEY='XXX'; 

./build-debian-cloud ec2 --volume-size 20 --filesystem ext4 --plugin plugins/admin-user --description 'Debian 7 (Wheezy)' --plugin plugins/publish-ami --plugin plugins/publish-snapshot --codename wheezy;

Then updated my apt sources to Jessie... and updated --> dist-upgrade. No problems. :)

Running like a charm! thanks for all the hard work. :)

Cheers,

Stonie

Wait what? The official debian squeeze AMIs? Are you certain? This may
be a bug, upgrading from squeeze to wheezy should be possible.
