Safest way to upgrade Sid after long interval?
I have a computer running Sid which has not been upgraded for a year (it
lives abroad). Note: I use apt-get (actually wajig) for this so no
suggestions about aptitude please.)
I would like to bring it up to date but am worried that I might end up
with an unusable system. I have got the (obviously huge) list of
upgrades. I think it should be safe to do 'upgrade' but for dist-upgrade
perhaps it should be done piecemeal afterwards, for reasons both of time
and safety.
Has anyone any experience of doing something like this? Best way to go
about things?
