the latest version of the auto-upgrade script is available from http://www.taz.net.au/autoup
changes since the last public release (v0.11): v0.12: (Robert D. Hilliard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - modified to fix errors encountered when upgrading a rex filesystem: - force removal of essential package timezone before installing timezones - remove xmanpages (if they are present before removing xlib6-dev.) - remove perl-suid and perl-debug before upgrading perl-base and perl.) - install ldso with a separate command from installing libc6 so ldso will be setup before libc6 is installed. - remove exit-on-error from installation of perl-base and perl - configure --pending after perl installation. - saved names of removed packages in a file v0.13: (Craig Sanders) - fixed globbing problem again for PKGS_LDSO and PKGS_LIBC6 - some cosmetic changes - i didn't like the idea of redirecting error messages to /dev/null so i got rid of it. I may use tee to save the output of this script in a log file in some hypotherical later version. - '|| exit 9' on the 'dpkg --configure --pending' line after installing perl. v0.14: (Craig Sanders) - in v0.12, localebin was accidentally deleted from list of packages to be removed. fixed. craig ps: scott, you probably want to put this version on your autoup page. pps: could whoever runs the dpkg bot in #debian make the bot send this script when it sees 'dpgk !autoup'? -- craig sanders -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
