Hi, wie der Betreff sagt, wird es ein Update-Skript geben, mit dem direkt von 1.2 auf 2.0 abgedatet werden kann. Es ist die definitive Antwort auf eine Frage, die vor ein paar Tagen gestellt wurde. <---------- Message-Id: <m0xzsFY-0009prC@bobspc> Date: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 18:59:32 -0500 (EST) From: hilliard@metrolink.net (Robert D. Hilliard) CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org Subject: 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.
