Re: [SOLVED] How do I test Waldorf without a complete reinstall?



It's basically only three steps, all as sudo:

1) Edit the sources.list

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and change every squeeze to wheezy, and every statler to waldorf. The backports lines can be commented (put a # in front). Save and exit.

For reference this is the sources.list of Waldorf - you can copy&paste it:

deb http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

2) Edit the apt-configuration

nano /etc/apt/apt.conf

and change the default release to wheezy

APT::Default-Release "wheezy";

The newest release doesn't have this file, but it doesn't hurt to create it.

3) Edit the apt-preferences

nano /etc/apt/preferences

and change the priority

Package: *
Pin: release a=waldorf
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: *
Pin: release a=wheezy
Pin-Priority: 500

Then you can perform the upgrade:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It will most probably get stuck somewhere, in this case do

sudo apt-get install -f

Reference (change "sid" to "wheezy" and "unstable" to "testing"): http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … se-to-sid/

Edit: added the 'original' entries
