Just make sure you're not on "testing" if you're doing this for a desktop (note that it is uncommon to run "testing" on a server). This release means that Sid ("unstable") just became "testing". Now, many folks are running Sid fine on their desktops, but historically the Sid -> testing push is volatile in the short term, and you probably would want to wait a couple weeks.
Basically, be wary of "testing" after a release.
- cdjk 13y agoNot quite. Sid is always unstable, and the new testing is jessie: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ Otherwise you're right - now it probably not the best time to switch to jessie/testing.
- tshepang 13y agoI would think Testing is pretty much safe, since all the new packages have to live a bit in Sid (10 days by default) before they reach Testing, so they get some testing. The only issue I know with Testing is temporary removals of some packages to help with these transitions.
