This document shows how to upgrade from Devuan Jessie to Devuan Ascii. It assumes a working Devuan Jessie system is already installed and should not be used for migrations.

====== Upgrade from Devuan Jessie to Ascii ======

First edit the sources.list file so that the branch can be changed to Ascii.

<code>root@devuan:~# editor /etc/apt/sources.list</code>

Add the latest Devuan mirror and the Ascii branch as shown. Comment out any other lines.

<code>
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii main
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii-backports main
</code>

Upgrade the Devuan keyring to make sure you have the latest version.

<code>root@devuan:~# apt-get upgrade devuan-keyring</code>

Update the package index files.

<code>root@devuan:~# apt-get update</code>

The only thing left to do is upgrade the system.

<code>root@devuan:~# apt-get dist-upgrade</code>
