-This page should help us to make sure the upgrade to Debian lenny is done smoothly and quickly.

-====== Things to watch ====== 
- 
- 
-  *  Remember to check that the latest kernel (linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686) is used the the [[xen]] configuration ('/etc/xen/HOSTNAME.conf'). 
- 
-  *  **Make sure that 'linux-modules-2.6-xen-686' and 'udev' are installed on the [[xen]] domUs.**  Be aware that having 'udev' mounted on '/dev' doesn't necessarily indicate that 'udev' is installed.  Looking at '/dev/pts' should be better. 
- 
-  *  Run `find /etc/ -name \*dpkg-dist\*` and use `vimdiff` to merge changes from lenny into our customized configuration files.   
- 
-  *  Delete '/etc/network/options' as it's not used in lenny. 
- 
-  *  You might need to remove 'libsasl2'.  This won't cause any problems as it's just a dummy package. 
- 
-  *  Configuration files where you should "install the package maintainer's version": 
-    *  /etc/locale.alias 
-

-====== Running lenny ====== 
- 
- 
-**[[ace]]** 
- 
-**[[wotan]]**: Still on '2.6.18' so will need a careful reboot.  As the upgrade to Xen '3.2' has already happened, we should get away with `xm save`ing the domUs while we reboot into '2.6.26'.  This could be done early one morning.

-**[[oracle]]**

-**[[leela]]** 
- 
-**[[azal]]**

-**[[k9]]**

-**[[ood]]** 
- 
-**[[sarn]]** 
- 
-**[[sil]]** 
- 
-**[[agyeman]]** 
- 
- 
-====== Still running etch ====== 
- 
- 
-**[[vortis]]**: Shell server.   suggested that we should just install a new lenny shell server, point ssh.tardis to it, and retire vortis at some time in the future.  Anyone know when security updates for etch will stop? 
- 
-**[[mara]]**: Web server.  Needs attention but might just be done early one morning. 
- 
-**[[piper]]**: NFS & LDAP server.  Needs attention and down-time booked in advance. (Has only just been upgraded from sarge to etch.) 
- 
-**[[boe]]**: Mail server.  Needs attention but could probably be done any time.
