Should one be able to upgrade to 17.10 stable when it's out (without too much trouble), or are you stuck in beta “ring” if you install this?

- jacek 9y agoIt will upgrade to stable 17.10.
- denisw 9y agoTo expand on that, there is no “beta“ channel, just a channel per release. If you install 17.10 beta, you‘ll get 17.10 package updates until the day of release, at which point you have the set of package versions that are considered the „stable“ release. After that, the 17.10 channel gets post-release bug and security fixes only.
- pipu 9y agoMy understanding is that there's an upgrade path just an do-release-upgrade away. I'm semi sure I've upgraded from beta to stable a few times.
