Re: Validate I have upgraded to Deuterium?

Helium-Development branch....

I give up, I'm just going to have you guys feed me updates intravenously...  Is the Helium-development attached to deuterium then? Does it carry the same updates that deuterium provides Hydrogen??

Re: Validate I have upgraded to Deuterium?

I give up

Me too.

Just one last time:

Forget Deuterium. It's just a code-name we gave to a bunch of upgrades to our packages that run on Debian Jessie. If you're using Debian Jessie, keep your packages upgraded (Debian and BL) and you'll be on "Deuterium" with no other effort. (Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen, and even after the "Deuterium" upgrades it's still a BunsenLabs Hydrogen system.)

When Debian Stretch becomes the stable release (or some time after) we'll release a version of BL to go with it, called "Helium". People who want to use Stretch+Helium will have to re-install their systems, or do a somewhat tricky system upgrade.

Debian Stretch at the moment it still referred to as Debian testing. Of course BunsenLabs Helium won't just magically appear, we have to do some work on the packages so that they will continue to function in the new Debian Stretch environment. We'll add some new graphics too. In order to test out ideas we need a testbed system, so we're calling that set of packages "helium-dev". There's already a helium-dev branch of the netinstall script, and before long there'll probably be an experimental repository holding experimental BL packages that are supposed to work on Debian Stretch.

Developers will install from those experimental sources to see what needs fixing, and try out possible improvements. Users who'd like to help with this development process are free to install the helium-dev packages on a Debian Stretch system, and any bug reports they have will be very welcome.

Users who want a working system and don't want to spend time fixing issues should stay with Debian Jessie and BunsenLabs Hydrogen until the "official" Helium release - which will be some way down the road.

Re: Validate I have upgraded to Deuterium?

feed me updates intravenously

^ This

Nobody has to worry about release names, these commands will update any installed (stable-based) system to the very latest release version, no matter what it is called:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

The names are just a bit of fun and can be safely ignored
