This page contains information how to upgrade from 1.1 rc5, or 1.1 rc6, or 1.1 rc7, to 1.1 final release. This How-To assumes that a 1.1 rc5 rootstrap has already been succesfully installed, or it has been upgraded to 1.1 rc6 or 1.1 rc7.

Step 1: Start Scratchbox

$ scratchbox

Alternatively, you may start the scratchbox installed by the maemo installer with:

$ /scratchbox/login

Step 2: Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, so that it contains the following two lines:

deb      maemo1.1 free non-free
deb-src  maemo1.1 free non-free

Step 3: Upgrade

Start the upgrading process by issuing:

[sbox-SDK_PC: ~] > apt-get update
[sbox-SDK_PC: ~] > fakeroot apt-get dist-upgrade

Note! Make sure you answer Yes on all questions regarding configuration file updates.

You can use apt-get's "Yes on all questions" -y option for that purpose:

[sbox-SDK_PC: ~] > fakeroot apt-get -y dist-upgrade

Comment

It appears you can also upgrade your SDK_ARM scratchbox the same way.
