[64studio-devel] Upgrading 2.1 to lenny

[Free Ekanayaka]

Hi all,

I think I've fixed most of the issues that prevented a clean upgrade to
lenny from 64 Studio 2.1 (rc1/rc2). Here's the procedure with Synaptic:

1) Remove a few exim related packages, which seem to be broken in lenny:

   exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light mailx mutt

2) Upgrade to the testing branch of 64 Studio, in particular make
   sure that your 64studio* packages get upgraded to version 2.1

3) Add lenny to your APT sources and hit the refresh button

4) Mark everything for upgrade, hit the apply button and follow the
   instructions. You will be asked if you want to restart a few
   services, always aswer yes. Moreover for three files, namely:

   /etc/security/limits.conf
   /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
   /etc/xdg/menu/gnome-applications.menu

   you will be asked wether to keep them or replace them with a
   newer version. CHOOSE TO KEEP THEM.

Steps 1) and 2) will not be needed on a fresh 2.1 install (final
version). If you want to test it here is the latest build:

which is now VERY close to the final 2.1 :)

Happy testing!
