[Bug 894396] Re: man do-release-upgrade: Nothing about config file: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

[Aapo Rantalainen]

I think your posts are not correct.
a) apt-get doesn't have 'dist-update'
It has 'dist-upgrade'
b) According to the 'man apt-get' dist-upgrade is not about distro update, but "also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages"
(Or do you mean changing  /etc/apt/sources.list by hands?)

c) do-release-upgrade -d
-d, --devel-release
              Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible
Is not what I'm asked.

If I'm on Lucid (with Prompt=lts on /etc/update-manager/release-
upgrades) and run 'do-release-upgrade -d' it will upgrade to the next
LTS which is Precise. I asked upgrading from Lucid to the Maverick,
which only needs changing Prompt=normal.

I'm saying: It is simple task, but it is not covered on man-page, there are not even hint about that file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades affects for 'do-release-upgrade'.

  No info about config file. See more: update-manager
