OK, So I have 3 servers at work, all 13.1
After successful install of 14.0 this week - yah I know, likely only
weeks or couple months before 14.1 is out, but hey, least I know 14 is
mature ;)
I note that in upgrade Pat always offers the quick 'n dirty how to
upgrade everything, but never shows a quick basic way for bare bones,
like servers
So, If I use a cut downed version of his example, like
#!/bin/sh
for dir in a ap d f l n t tcl y ; do
( cd $dir ; upgradepkg --install-new *.t?z )
done
removing kde kdei , x , xapp, and xfce and E (since emacs is built
with X and not before)
and I know the L will include some X libraries I'll need to check and
remove if I feel energetic enough, will this upgrade everything?
the risk of breaking things is low ?
and yes, I know I'll need to go over and find obsoletes manually :)
TIA
