Hi Free,

I decided to test upgrading a clean install of 2.0 amd64 to 2.1 using 
only Synaptic and mirrorservice.org. It worked fine, with the following 
notes...

1. ardour, ktoon, and I think qsampler were held back in the first 'mark 
all upgrades'.

2. ktoon and whatever other Qt app it was got upgraded on the second 
pass, I guess because they needed a newer Qt4 package.

3. ardour only gets upgraded to 2.4 if you mark it manually, because the 
fftw3 package needs to be replaced.

4. There was a question about restarting libssl services, no big deal.

5. There's a question about replacing the contents of 64studio.list, 
again no big deal because either keep or replace is fine. Keep is the 
correct answer for people using an apt mirror, because the default file 
specifies the main apt.64studio.com server.

All in all, I was really pleased with how smoothly it went :-)

By the way, I've updated the readme files on the rsync feed, as some 
were still 2.0 versions.

Next I'm going to test the linuxaudio.org mirror with an upgrade from 
clean 2.0 i386. After that, I think we can issue the press release ;-)

Cheers!

Daniel
