It's impossible to change binary compatibility and still offer easy upgrade paths for people with self-compiled binaries. > Will this be as easy as a swup --upgrade / swup --list-alien or is this > going to require starting over... that's an awful lot of redevelopment. We have not yet decided if we are going to develop an upgrade path with swup, although I would be surprised if that would not be possible since both 2.2 and 3.0 share swup version. However possible, it's not yet decided if that will be officially supported. On a production system I would not change distribution before I had to, so moving from 2.2 to 3.0 is really not as interesting as moving from 2.2 to 3.1 (which will be the last in the 3.X series, much like 2.2 for 2.X). Anyway, as I said this is not taken into consideration at this point. > What's the plan for Trustix2.2- if I recall 3 years?
