Public bug reported: On Trusty, 'do-release-upgrade -d' is currently offering an upgrade to 14.10. It should offer to upgrade to Wily, because Wily is the current development release.
It makes sense if we are skipping versions for stable releases to also skip versions for development releases. The code in update-manager parses the meta-release files to determine which release to upgrade. As an example here is the meta-release-development entry for Utopic. Dist: utopic Name: Utopic Unicorn Version: 14.10 Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 14:10:00 UTC Supported: 0 Description: This is the 14.10 release Release-File: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic/Release ReleaseNotes: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/EOLReleaseAnnouncement UpgradeTool: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/utopic.tar.gz UpgradeToolSignature: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/utopic.tar.gz.gpg We currently just check the date and supported status to determine to which release to upgrade, as the meta release files don't really contain information about whether or not a release is obsolete. If we are running with the -d switch we could check to see if the release date is greater than today. There should probably be a fudge factor of a day though as otherwise people may not be able to upgrade on release day. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: New ** Tags: trusty ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Assignee: Brian Murray (brian-murray) => (unassigned) ** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => update-manager (Ubuntu) ** Description changed: On Trusty, 'do-release-upgrade -d' is currently offering an upgrade to 14.10.
