-General
--------
-
-The dist-upgrader is designed to make upgrades for ubuntu (or similar
-distributions) easy and painless. It supports both network mode and
-cdrom upgrades. The cdromupgrade will ask if it should use the network
-or not. There is a wrapper script "cdromugprade" (that assumes the
-file of the upgrade life in
-CDROM_ROOT/dists/stable/dist-upgrader/binary-all/) that can be put
-onto the CD and it will support upgrades directly from the CD.
-
-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-The DistUpgrade.cfg format is based on the python ConfigParser.
-
-It supports the following sections:
-
-[View] - controls the output
-
-[Distro] - global distribution specfic options
-BaseMetaPkgs:
- the basic meta-pkgs that must be installed (ubuntu-base usually)
-MetaPkgs:
- packages that define a "desktop" (e.g. ubuntu-desktop)
-PostUpgrade{Install,Remove,Purge}:
- action right after the upgrade was calculated in the cache (marking
- happens *before* the cache.commit())
-ForcedObsoletes:
- Obsolete packages that the user is asked about after the upgrade (marking
- happens *after* the cache.commit())
-RemoveEssentialOk:
- Those packages are ok to remove even though they are essential
-KeepInstalledPkgs:
- If the package was installed before, it should still be installed
- after the upgrade
-KeepInstalledSection:
- Packages from this section that were installed should always be
- installed afterwards as well (useful for eg translations)
-
-[$meta-pkg]
-KeyDependencies:
- Dependencies that are considered "key" dependencies of the meta-pkg to
- detect if it was installed but later removed by the user
