LTS upgrades

This page describes how to perform dapper -> hardy upgrades. Note that hardy is not yet released.

Please refer to the upgrade-manager package when filing any [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ bugs] or [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4323348 questions or comments] about this.

Desktop

  1. enable the "dapper-proposed" repository
  2. install the updated "update-manager" package
  3. run "update-manager -d"
  4. a button should appear that tells the user that a new distribution version is available

Server

  1. enable the "dapper-proposed" repository
  2. install the new "update-manager-core" package - dependencies include python-apt, python-gnupginterface and python2.4-apt.
  3. run "do-release-upgrade -d" in a terminal window
  4. follow the steps on the terminal window

For the final version the packages will move from "dapper-proposed" to "dapper-updates". The "-d" (--devel-release) switch will then no longer be needed.
