Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze
Hi,
the current release notes contain:
<para>
The <literal>backports.org</literal> repository mainly contains packages
from <quote>testing</quote>, with reduced version numbers
so that the upgrade path from &oldreleasename; backports to
&releasename; still works. However, there are a few backports
which are made from unstable: security updates, plus the following
exceptions: Firefox, the Linux kernel, OpenOffice.org, and X.Org.
</para>
<para>
If you do not use one of these exceptions, you can safely upgrade
to &releasename;. If you use one of these exceptions, set the
<literal>Pin-Priority</literal> (see <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>apt_preferences</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>)
temporarily to <literal>1001</literal> for all packages from &releasename;,
and you should be able to do a safe dist-upgrade too.
</para>
The current versions of iceweasel, linux-2.6 and openoffice.org in
lenny-bpo seem to be older than the versions in squeeze, and there is no
X.Org backport afaik. So maybe these paragraphs are not necessary?
Adding Rhonda in cc for comments as bpo admin.
Cheers,
Julien
