[daniel-thompson/pinebook-pro-debian-installer] Upgrade to Debian unstable?

The best course would be to test this on a separate SD card, and then detail your experience for the community on Daniel's original thread. Then you could repro what works on your main install.

I've gone through the process and it worked nicely.

Because releases other than sid have "-proposed-updates" and "-security" and "-backports", but sid has none of these, I commented out those lines in "sources.list".  So the bottom line was that there are now only two active lines in my sources:


Code:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/danielthompson/Debian_Unstable ./


Of course, the first line was from "/etc/apt/sources.list" and the second line was from the extra file that Daniel's installer created.

"apt full-upgrade" wanted to update about 175 packages, it seemed to be fairly safe.  System is back running as normal.

Of course, I advise to make a backup, even though I didn't do that because there is no personal data on this thing -- I could just reinstall using Daniel's installer and I would lose very little.

Hm. I see that I do get some errors on upgrading packages:

Code:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.2-2-pinebookpro-arm64
find: ‘/lib/modules/5.4.2-2-pinebookpro-arm64/kernel/arch/*/crypto’: No such file or directory
...

The second line is printed multiple times.

Not sure if it is relevant, but I thought to mention it.  @danielt what do you think?
