[Bug 1174242] Re: Software Updater should prompt for release upgrade after installing all updates; should warn of new release available even before

[Michael Terry]

I don't think it should warn of new release before updating.  I think
it's best to get all updates first, in case we SRU something to fix the
upgrade experience.  But sure, we could tell the user after updating.

Title:
  Software Updater should prompt for release upgrade after installing
  all updates; should warn of new release available even before

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  = WORKAROUND =

  It's possible to force the upgrade using the following:

  do-release-upgrade -d -f DistUpgradeViewGtk3

  Ubuntu 13.04 is already out, and my Update Manager is correctly
  configured to show the upgrades for ANY VERSION.

  However, there is no button to upgrade to 13.04 as there was for
  previous upgrades.
