Hi folks I've got a (highly customized) debian/potato box. (If you're tempted to reply at this point with "why the hell aren't you running debian/unstable", don't.) One day the current unstable glibc2.2 debian will become stable (or maybe it has already?) and I will want to upgrade. I don't want to do a dist-upgrade though, because it will almost certainly break something on my very patchy box.[B Is there a nice way to upgrade gradually? For example, if I upgrade the "base" package from potato (glibc2.1) to soon-to-be-stable (glibc2.2), will my box boot, or do I need to upgrade other things as well?[B
I do know what I'm doing but I'm too lazy to look through the package contents and wanted to poke the list first, so spare me the usual "dist-upgrade or bust" lecture, please. cheers, chris
