<div dir="ltr">Hello OpenCSW users,<div><br></div><div style>In November 2012, we've removed all the packages from the 'stable' directory on the master mirror and replaced them with a README file. Ten months passed since and we hope that you've noticed the change.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>It's time to apply the 'stable' label to the dublin release. This is what we had before:</div><div style><br></div><div style>unstable</div><div style>testing → dublin</div><div style>
stable → (nothing)</div><div style><br></div><div style>After:</div><div style><br></div><div style>unstable</div><div style>testing → kiel</div><div style>stable → dublin</div><div style><br></div><div style>There's one important caveat:</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>You cannot update packages from the legacy (old stable) catalog to the new stable.</div><div style><br></div><div style>If you have a machine on which you still have the legacy package set, you must make a list of all your packages, uninstall them, then switch pkgutil to the new catalog and install the new set.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Following the promotion of dublin to 'stable', the kiel release will become the new 'testing'. There's no general upgrading caveat, you will be able to upgrade from dublin to kiel (old 'testing' to new 'testing').</div>
<div style><br></div><div>The change has been made on the master mirror and will propagate to other mirrors in withing the next day.</div><div><br></div><div style>In case of any problems, please contact us either on the mailing list or on the IRC channel, #opencsw on Freenode.</div>
