I read the upgrade guide and the change log. I have a very stable

look a bit scary to me because I have site specific python scripts in 
weewx/user directory that read and format Scripps buoy RSS feeds. 

Any  guess how hard of time I'll have for the upgrade now that weewx has 
shown up in apt upgrade list?


i really hope it is not difficult for you, but if you do encounter 
problems, please let us know.

for a debian upgrade from 4.10.2 to 5.0.0, the contents of 
/usr/share/weewx/user will be copied to the new location /etc/weewx/bin/user

the old directory will then be moved aside, so your original files in 
'user' will still be there

however, if you had any cron jobs or other scripts that referenced those 
files, you will have to change them to refer to the new location in 
/etc/weewx/bin/user

if those scripts are called within weewx, they should just work, since the 
new location is added to the PYTHONPATH
