upgrade to Buster the moment its launched?
Re: upgrade to Buster the moment its launched?
I'm usually on Testing but wait a few weeks after launch before I upgrade, hoping for the worst bugs to be identified until then. Same thing if I was running stable. I mean, there will always be a couple of new bugs after release so one can as well wait a bit.

Re: upgrade to Buster the moment its launched?
Put me in the already upgraded camp. I try to wait, but I always get impatient and upgrade some time between the hard freeze and release day.
Re: upgrade to Buster the moment its launched?
brave ones all of you who have upgraded, i have setup stretch just the way i like it. i fear the upgrade might change or break something. stretch would have to be pried from my cold dead fingers before i let it go

Re: upgrade to Buster the moment its launched?
It will. There are a lot of changes in the file hierarchy. For example, Buster could not find my Brother scanner until I copied the Brother libraries to a different directory. And all of the packages that depend on Qt4 and libmariadbd18 have to be rebuilt, so Amarok will not be in Buster, nor will kodi-pvr-hts.sickpig wrote:i fear the upgrade might change or break something.
I still have two systems running Wheezy. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.sickpig wrote:stretch would have to be pried from my cold dead fingers before i let it go

Re: upgrade to Buster the moment its launched?
There are no security upgrades for Wheezy. But that's not much of an issue for my two Wheezy machines. One is a television server (for over-the-air broadcast TV). The other is my phonetop, which I use as an alternative desktop, but rarely use to browse the internet.sickpig wrote:how do ensure security updates for wheezy though?
For everything else, I have a laptop running Debian Buster.
Re: upgrade to Buster the moment its launched?
sounds good, thanks for sharing! i plan to stick with stretch until they provide security updates after that a sad bye bye

Backup the system before upgrading then. But you already have a full backup, right?sickpig wrote:i fear the upgrade might change or break something.
If you're using btrfs then take a snaphot, boot into the snapshot and upgrade that to test.

I'll wait a couple of months before upgrading to Buster just in case!

I didn't like that for Sid, so I edited /etc/os-release to look like this:
