Re: AV Linux 23 Downloads suspended for Development Phase
Will it be possible to upgrade 23 to 25 much like other distros?

It will likely be made possible, but if you do that, you get to keep the pieces when it breaks.

That will be up to AVLinux. He's got a lot of custom stuff in there that is installed from outside our repos.Eadwine Rose wrote: Fri Aug 15, 2025 12:52 pm It will likely be made possible, but if you do that, you get to keep the pieces when it breaks.

@dolphin_oracle is correct, there are a lot of extra non-Repo things and AVL is highly customized and is kind of old school in a lot of ways, I have a package archive but not a Repository so that makes a blanket Distribution upgrade much more complex. To be honest when moving from one Debian Platform to another I don't really ever recommend upgrading from one Debian platform to the next, in my experience a lot of obsoleted things can get left behind and updated programs may not work as well with stale config files from the previous platform. I recommend keeping all of your important data on a separate drive or partition and use your home folder for temporary things and your configs. That way if you ever need to reinstall or change an OS you just have to back up your home config stuff and then move it back after installing. If your data is kept completely separate then it can remain unchanged. Just my opinion but this has made OS changes and upgrades pretty effortless for me over the years..
