As a user and developer, I just hit this situation and expected -d to mean devel because that's what the manpage of do-release-upgrade says.
It would be ideal to: * Not nag the 18.04 users to update to 20.04 until 20.04.1 release is out (this is the current behavior) * Allow users on 18.04 (or other) to do-release-upgrade without '-d' to get to 20.04 at any point from the time 20.04 is released. Are these two behaviors are coupled? If there will be a period of 3 months between 20.04 and 20.04.1 where this -d flag is needed for a non-development release and that is not going to change, then perhaps the manpage should be updated with a caveat. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875522 Title: suggest removing -d requirement to upgrade to new releases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1875522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
