    <title><![CDATA[Direct Upgrade from one LTS to another LTS version]]></title>
    <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/1753/</link>
    <description><![CDATA[I've been using Ubuntu for 2 years now and really like it. I've almost completely done away with Windows at home (have dual boot for running a game that I can't get to work well on Ubuntu).  I'd really like to see a direct upgrade path from one LTS version to another LTS version without having to "do a fresh install" or use the logical forced upgrade system.  <br /><br />If this is already in the works, then WOO HOO!<br /><br /><br />Thanks, <br /><br />Harpazo<br />

  <description><![CDATA[Shouldn't be any problem with this.  apt lets you easily upgrade between versions, and doesn't really distinguish between releases -- just versions of individual packages.  If you can't upgrade a package from one LTS to another, it's probably a bug with that individual package.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[@Lee: LTS release to LTS release isn't exactly any normal upgrade though, given the vast changes that have occurred in the meantime. Special care and testing would have to be done to ensure configurations transitioned smoothly, for one thing.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I see what they are saying... I believe you have to upgrade through any interim releases before getting to an LTS with apt. If someone JUST wants to run LTS versions, that makes it difficult.<br /><br />I could be wrong though, as I've never tried it.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[This is in the works, and there is testing of Dapper->Hardy going on right now! I sincerely hope it makes it into the final Hardy release, and I bet it will since it's something Canonical is strongly behind.]]></description>
