 Change from aptosid to siduction

(1/3) > >>

titan:
My main PC is running aptosid it is fully updated, I read the siduction forum every day, I think I should change to siduction as aptosid appears to be dead, although slh still puts out regular kernels. This is my main PC so I want to get the changeover right. I think I should be able to do the change by adding the siduction repros and # the aptosid ones or is that too simple. Looking for the siduction repros there seems to be a couple of conflicting addresses.


this



extra (amd64 / i386)
Please add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list or create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra.list containing these lines:
deb     http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main
deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main
fixes (amd64 / i386)


Please add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list or create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list containing these lines:
deb     http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free


or these



Active apt sources in file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra.list
deb http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/extra unstable main
           
Active apt sources in file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fixes.list
deb http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/fixes unstable main contrib non-free


Which one to use, I think it should be the first ones without the ftp and I also assume my Debian repros are OK.


Any advice welcome


Thanks

If, that's a big if, were me, I would start from scratch

but .. that's your choice :P

titan:
Thanks for the lists, may just wait until I put in a new mobo later in the year.

titan:
Obviously tempted fate thinking about changing to siduction as the latest aptosid kernel wont work with my graphics, I posted on the aptosid forum and towo tried to help me but it is still broken, not a major problem as the previous kernel works fine. I will be doing a hardware rebuild later in the year so will do a clean install then,  new mobo will be uefi.


However how easy would it be to change over to siduction (towo) kernels, any advice welcome


thanks

If you have a backup and know how to work with backups, I would give it a try, but honestly...
I belive you will spend a lot more time maintaining your old system (how much time passed since installing it? 5 years?)

I would by a 128 SSD for about 50 €/USD and do a install of siuduction. Yuu will need some hours to make it similar to your System, but you can make a dualboot (if its not a laptop) and transfer althe date smoothly and also compare the two systems...
