Thanks for your note on debian 12 / bookworm.
[snip]
We (GTALUG) run a debian stretch server that has fallen out of support. It falls on me (among others) to kick it forward. I was under the impression that the automated updating process is more recent then that.
Is there a royal road to bookworm from stretch?
My guess is that it gets complicated by out-of-distro things that we have installed.
Long time (hobbyist) Debian user. The royal road is that you can't skip a version. From stretch (Debian 9) one has to upgrade to first to buster (10) then to bullseye (11) and finally to bookworm (12). Out of distro things will indeed require extra work. The unattended upgrades don't normally automatically upgrade to a new Debian version, I believe. -- Znoteer znoteer@mailbox.org
