So, did a up2date --help for snorts and giggles. Found a few really cool
options, such as:
--show-available List all packages available that are not currently
installed
and
--show-orphans List all packages currently installed that are not in
channels the system is subscribed to
But the one thats _REALLY_ got my going "hrmmmmm!" is this one (which has no
entry in the man page, nor the Changelog file):
--upgrade-to-release=<release-version>
Upgrade to the channel specified
Is this what I think it is? A support (but hidden) way of doing dist version
upgrades with up2date?! <que angels>HAAAAAALLELUJAH!</angels>
Anywho, I can't find any documentation on this option. Is anybody in the
"know" on this one?
