Re: [qubes-users] upgrade: latest stable -> latest testing RC
One additional thing: certain install-related, VM-creation or volume-creation “fixes” across versions won’t be applied after an upgrade. E.g. there were volume mis-alignment fixes, that lead to better SSD and LVM performance, made after 4.0, that aren’t auto-fixed for existing VMs or templates. Presumably the template building process means that removing templates and redownloading more recently built templates then creating new VMs will lead to fixes for domUs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Point releases (the last digit) are not new versions of their own, they're just a "checkpoint" where the ISO is rebuilt with the newest packages. Installing 4.0.2 is the same as installing 4.0.1 and fully updating it (with a few minor exceptions occasionally, see below). Note that rc releases might contain a few packages that are newer than what's available in the stable repos. If you want, you can switch to the current-testing repos for the latest packages. Even rc releases only update from the stable repos, though, unless you manually change it. You only have to reinstall for a minor or major version upgrade, e.g. 3.1 -> 3.2, or 3.2 -> 4.0. The article you referenced is about upgrading an existing R3.2 installation to R4.0, as I recall. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] upgrade: latest stable -> latest testing RC
Hey. i have two questions: how can i upgrade from the latest stable release 4.0.1 to the latest RC 4.0.2- rc3? The older upgrade guides, for instance https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/upgrade-to-r4.0/ look like i'd have to reinstall. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
