I started with an up to date bo distribution, and used the 'upgrade' script (version 0.11) that was posted to the list a few days ago. It mostly worked, but there were three problems.
After running the upgrade script, any new bashes that i start dont work with vi keybindings, even if i run set -o vi manually. This may become fixed after i install more packages, i dont know. I had a problem with timezones. Before, with bo, you couldnt select the Pacific timezone, tzconfig would complain that it was ambiguous with Pacific-New. So, i had my timezone set to Pacific-New, and the timezones package didnt like that. The upgrade script exited, and it wasnt clear wether that was a normal termination or not. I ran tzconfig by hand, set the timezone to Pacific, and reran the upgrade script, and everything worked well. After running the upgrade script, dselect didnt work... This was a little scary. I configured the package source (using the 'Access' menu option) to use ftp.debian.org (also tried a couple of mirrors, same problem), base directory /debian, distributions unstable, non-free, and contrib. It complained it couldnt find the Packages file for unstable. If i told it to use /debian/dists/unstable for the debian directory and get distributions main, non-free, and contrib, it could get the three Packages files, but would fail when it actually tried to download. It would cd to the debian directory i entered above, but then tack on dists/unstable again. Sounds like the Packages-files-getting logic doesnt know about the new ftp site directory layout. The .deb-files-getting logic does seem to know about the new directory layout. The workaround was to download the Packages files by hand, set the Access options as the first one tried above, and then install the Packages files by hand. I'm downloading the rest of the packages now, we'll see how that goes. All in all i think the upgrade went really smooth. Good job guys!
