Upgrading to debian 12 bookworm Wednesday Mar 6 8:19:09 2024 ------------------------------ It is so ironic always saying that I do not want to post the same stuff both on my blog and on my phlog. But here I am again finding myself not exactly crossposting but talking about the same thing on both. The difference perhaps is that here I feel more free to talk about the technical part of the matter. Often only to remind myself of how to do things. I do have to remember some important things from now on: (These points are notes to self) 1st. Read the documentation. It is not too long and it always saves lots of time. 2nd. Remove all software that does not come with debian to ensure the upgrade goes smooth. This implies removing keys and extra repositories. 3rd. As usual edit /etc/apt/sources.list to s/oldcodename/newcodename/ if you want 'stable'. 4th. Run 'apt update' and 'apt full-upgrade' (there is the possibility of running a minimal system upgrade with 'apt upgrade 5th. Enjoy your new stable system :)
