This page https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide strongly discourages such jumps. Then again, it also strongly discourages upgrading instead of doing a fresh install. > We could ask osuosl people to set up a second virtual machine to play > with, or is it easier to have one locally?

I think they are fairly cheap. Another option would be to have them take a snapshot of our VM just before we shut it down to do the update. Then if it fails, we can have them restore it. Of course, that's assuming they're not overwhelmed with other work right now.... Riki -- lyx-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
