If locales would support locale named 'old-releases.', then exporting LANG="old-releases." and running do-release-upgrade would almost do the trick :) Basically, update-manager is fine. The tar.gz archive, downloaded from archive mirror should be fixed. It contains semi hard coded source mirror. It looks at locale settings to decide what to prepend to archive.ubuntu.com. Since, old-releases isn't part of archive, but has separate URL old-releases.archive.ubuntu.com, a bit more tweaking is needed. It's actually quite easy, as I've described in answer to Sean's post. If upgrades from EOL releases to supported releases is something we should opt for (and I think we should, since obviously, there's a need for that), fix to those tar.gz is needed. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
