Same here.

so, is the warning no longer relevant? Nothing broke if you dist-upgraded?

rokytnji · posted: 2015-08-02 13:55

i have not dit-upgraded yet Anti. I did that earlier in the week before your warning.
My tongue in cheek post was referring that it was Aug 1st when the warning came out and
I was lucky enough to read it before doing a dist-upgrade.

I usually do dist-upgrades before opening my browser using smxi or the terminal.
So instead of"Oh drat, now you tell me" __{{emoticon}}__

I posted,"I'm cool". I do not know if shay runs sid or experimental repos on his gear or not.
He will have to answer that one on his own.

Mine was tongue in cheek also. As I figured roky did.

Running sid I believe.
How would I check?

Been about 8 days since updating, glad I seen this before doing it again.

Code: Select all

$ cat / etc/debian_version
stretch/sid

I have to put the space in between / and etc shay because of the forum bug all us old timers know about. It should look like

cat /etc/debian_version

Now that I am awake

Code: Select all

cat / etc/debian_version
8.1

Shay. Do not sweat this thread as it does not apply to you or testing AntiX.
You can dist-upgrade in peace.

it's time to prepare for GCC 5 as the default compiler in unstable. Compared
to earlier version bumps, the switch to GCC 5 is a bit more complicated
because libstdc++6 sees a few ABI incompatibilities, partially depending on
the C++ standard version used for the builds. For some C++11 language
requirements, changes on some core C++ classes are needed, resulting in an ABI
change.

From my testing box

Code: Select all

<snip>The following packages will be upgraded:
  alsa-tools audacious-plugins base-passwd bash bind9-host bsdutils
  console-setup console-setup-linux cpp-4.9 cups-client cups-common cups-ppdc
  dbus dbus-x11 debconf debconf-i18n debconf-utils deborphan dh-python gcc-4.9
  gcc-4.9-base <snip>

Look for the gcc-4.9 & gcc-4.9-base which is no where near gcc5 yet.

Thank you!
A few more years and I may begin to understand this stuff.

Instead of dist-upgrade, I've only upgrade. Everything stable thus far.

But my main concern is cclive. If that gets removed via d-u, I'll be risking 20 removed! Not acceptable to me at all.

Has anyone else had issues with removing cclive?

TonyVanDam · posted: 2015-08-20 02:45

I forgot to mention that I've using sid repos only on my laptop. My disktop at my apartment is on stable repos.

I have not seen or heard anything about this recently so I've been holding back on Sid upgrades, whether they are from antiX builds or some other Debian build.

I've been able to update antiX and MX-14.4 normally without issue when using Debian Stable as the software package foundation.

Why remove cclive?

Code: Select all

$ locate cclive
/usr/bin/cclive
/usr/share/doc/cclive
/usr/share/doc/cclive/NEWS.gz
/usr/share/doc/cclive/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/cclive/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/cclive/copyright
/usr/share/man/man1/cclive.1.gz
/var/cache/apt/archives/cclive_0.7.16-2.1_i386.deb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/cclive.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/cclive.md5sums

Not a lot there taking up space. Just wondering is all. Also. Wondering if a 20 + something removal has nothing to do with cclive. But is tied into something else instead?

I even used synapse to help me confirm it. Most of what needs to be d-u will remove cclive and 19 other softwares.

I think I'll wait another week before I attempt to d-u.
