what's the safe upgrade procedure? - rastarr - 27th Mar, 2015 12:23 AM
Hi,
I'm running XBian 20150210-4 on an rPi-1 model B
I notice there's newer xbian installs and was wondering what is the upgrade procedure?
Note: The Sticky thread refers to making sure I read the FAQ which contains nothing about upgrading.
Any clear instruction would be great.
Thanks
Martin

"Why should I not use apt-get"
So using the upgrade process of the xbian-config tool should be fine.
If you want to be safe shutdown your system and create a full backup of your SDCard first with this little tool:

Sorry to sound totally dense here but I've no idea what it is I'm suppose to be updating / upgrading.
I've made sure (from FAQ) that I have the latest repos in my system and run the commands the FAQ tells me to.
Still at XBian 20150210-4
What else am I suppose to be looking at doing to get a later release?
Thanks for help

As far as I can tell, xbian-config simply runs apt-get upgrade ?
