Upgrade Script

[Valtam]

Looking to give people a way to upgrade, interactively and easily. The upgrade will ONLY be applicable for LL series releases ie. You will be able to upgrade from any version in the 2.0 - 2.8 series, but not from the 2.0 to a future 3.0 series.

This feature has been requested a lot. The script is in it's infancy, there is still much to do. If you'd like to test do the following:

1) Do a fresh install of 2.0 to a Virtualbox.
2) Make a file called lite-upgrade and make it executable.
2) Copy the script to /usr/bin
3) Click on the Whisker Menu and type in: gksudo lite-upgrade in the search box. Follow the prompts.

Of course I welcome code contributions and suggestions

This is what I have so far:

First we must ensure that the script doesn't brake anything
apt-get upgrade -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold"

New wallpapers could be packed into package for example lite-wallpapers-2.2 or similar.

Hello!

Wish you folks the best on this.  I'm starting to forget everything I've installed when I 'upgrade', so this will be a BIG help!

Hi,

I realise you folks are really busy, and have many things to do...

Wondering how is the upgrade tool progressing?
I only have 3 machines, but would like to keep them in sync.

Thanks... Dave

Work is progressing, I don't have a date Dave. It's a tricky script that has to be thoroughly tested to avoid worldwide breakages :p

[Wirezfree]

Hi Jerry,

Thanks... Fully Understand...
I guess after years of Windows, and now making the move..
I'm eager to get/keep all machines at the same level/revision.

I will wait patiently
