apt-get dist-upgrade -u doesn't tell me what it's getting
Hi, I use the commands apt-get update apt-get -u dist-upgrade when I want to check and get upgrades but apt doesn't tell me exactly what it is getting ... Here's a log of what I have # apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade -u Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org woody/main Packages [1779kB] Hit http://security.debian.org woody/updates/main Packages . .

Thanks From your output, apt-get update hasn't finished yet so apt-get dist-upgrade isn't getting anything yet. Also, what exactly is: http://security.debian.org woody/updates/non-free Packages? Someone more knowledgeable than me can feel free to correct me, but the whole reason that woody hasn't been released is that it isn't on security.debian.org yet. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I use apt-get -d -u dist-upgrade to fetch and see everything, and I do this in a cron job at midnight. Then when I feel like it I run apt-get -u dist-upgrade to actually install it. There's no reason to do upgrade because that's included in dist-upgrade. ~mark - Original Message - From: ThanhVu Nguyen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Debian debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Sunday, June 09, 2002 1:46 AM Subject: apt-get dist-upgrade -u doesn't tell me what it's getting Hi, I use the commands apt-get update apt-get -u dist-upgrade when I want to check and get upgrades but apt doesn't tell me exactly what it is getting ...

That's the output from running apt-get update. Currently it's fetching Packages(.gz) file, the file that lists available packages on the server. When you run apt-get -u dist-upgrade, it'll first show you the list of packages it's going to upgrade/remove/etc. and ask if you wish to continue. When you say yes it'll start doing its thing and download the packages first (if necessary.) It'll show the progress in about the same way as above. So how do I tell apt to tell me what it is getting exactly ? Well, it already is telling you, you just aren't listening :) -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG 1024D/68388EE66FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6 pgpE4heBbAI9v.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think woody has been released (more-or-less) now. On Friday, AJ posted a noticed (on -devel-announce) outlining the changes to the build infrastructure, and it sounded like everything was in place. After that when I updated, apt grabbed a packages file (from testing) and upgraded several packages. That leads me to believe that woody is now stable, though I didn't see any mention of it on www.debian.org and the ftp repository didn't show it as stable. I expect to see a release announcement any time now. In any case, I would choose to put stable instead of woody on the security line in my sources.list so that I don't need to change it for each new stable release. -D -- He who belongs to God hears what God says.

There are still updates to be made, and the infrastructure is still being tested. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
