Upgrade se obavlja na isti način kao i kod prošle verzije, s tim da je moguća nadogradnja 17-17.2.
Najkulniji fićr je tzv. "Forein packages" koji omogućava dodavanje ali i pregledavanje sadržaja third-party repoa, za što je dosad bio potreban poseban program.
Foreign packages are a new APT concept in Linux Mint. A foreign package is a package which origin and/or version is unknown and which doesn't match what is available in repositories known by your operation system.
Downgrading foreign packages back to their official versions can be especially useful in the following cases:
If you want to purge packages from a 3rd party repository or from a PPA
If you temporarily enabled Romeo and you want to downgrade your packages back to stable versions
If you mistakenly used repositories which aren't compatible with your system (Debian repositories in Linux Mint for instance)
If you want to remove .deb packages installed manually
In all these cases, the procedure is simple:
Remove the repository/PPA you no longer want to use
Refresh your APT cache
Click on Maintenance -> "Downgrade foreign packages"
This, along with the new "apt recommends" command, makes it easier to solve APT-related issues and to clean your Linux Mint system.
Isto tako, uvedena je i nova naredba "apt recommends" koja izlistava popis preporučenih zavisnosti koje nisu instalirane. Npr.:
Kod: Označi sve
apt recommends wineZadana tema je i dalje gadno-siva. Cinnamon 2.8 i Mate 1.10 će se uskoro portati i na Mint 17.
Je li možda tko probao? Kakvi su dojmovi?
