I've just found a production Ubuntu Server 10.10 install that I need to try to upgrade.
It's pretty much just Apache, PHP and MySQL so hopefully not too complicated.
10.10 has not been supported for ages - indeed to get to a version which is not EOL I need to skip 11.04 and 11.10 and go straight for 12.04LTS.
I've taken an image and restored to an indentical VM. So far I've done: sed -i.bak -e 's/maverick/precise/g' /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install apt apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove
This initially failed until I added: APT { Immediate-Configure No; }; .. to /etc/apt/apt.conf
Rather surprisingly, I now have an apparently working system,
So my question is: what should I look out for to check this has really gone OK? So far it feels like it's been too easy...
