Clarify PREVIOUS_STABLE_VERSION when switching to new debian series
For %Tails_5.0 , PREVIOUS_STABLE_VERSION
has been set to 4.29
. This looked right, but created a problem: when I prepared UDF
s for the test
channel (using ./bin/publish-test-udfs
), it did so for 4.29
, not for 5.0~beta1
. Since I haven't noticed, and went on with the process, I was faced with the dilemma:
- either I do everything from scratch again
- or we skip testing Incremental Upgrades
I found a trick: 905976ba , which allowed us to test IUKs, but we had to patch the code. Not great, but good enough to go on with the release.
This could popup again when releasing %Tails_6.0
