Re: Upgrading HOWTO?
Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au> has written a script, autoup.sh to
automatically make the upgrade following the libc5-libc6-upgrading-HOWTO.
A number of people have contributed to debugging and extending this
script. It can be used to upgrade from either rex or bo. Alex
Yukhimets <aqy6633@acf5.nyu.edu> has done some work on adapting this
to upgrade from buzz, but I don't know if he was sucessful.
Version 0.17 of this script is available from Craig at
http://www.taz.net.au/autoup or from Scott Ellis at
{http,ftp}://stormcrow.ml.org/pub/debian/autoup/ .
When I made a test upgrade last Friday, I found some bugs in
v0.17, and modified it to 0.18, which I successfully tested on both
rex and bo. I sent a diff against 0.17 to Craig and to the testing
list, but this is not yet reflected in the two ftp sites listed
above. I am sending you a copy of these diffs by private mail to save
bandwidth on the list.
IMHO this script, or something similar must be distributed with
hamm.
