How to upgrade to the Qt 4.6 second technology preview?
 

Hi all,

I noticed that yesterday Nokia released a second preview of 4.6 for maemo

http://qt.nokia.com/products/whats-n...emo-developers

How do I upgrade my scratchbox environment? I have already libqt-maemo-dev packages for 4.6 preview 1.

What do I do? apt-get upgrade?

apt-get remove libqt4-maemo5-dev
and then
apt-get install ibqt4-maemo5-dev ?

Regards,

Carlos

As per the blog

I would say apt-get upgrade would be enough, assuming you have extras-devel enabled*. It worked for me**

*Use at own risk.
** I'm only using scratchbox, and don't own an n900...yet

Er, apt-get update, _then_ apt-get upgrade.

Right. I had assumed he already updated his repos.

[Off-Topic] For this and other reasons, I find Arch Linux's pacman command far superior to Debian's apt-get. "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" becomes "pacman -Syu".[/Off-Topic]

Well, I like the divide, because I can do apt-get update, and then (even disconnected) check what's new that I may or may not choose to install/upgrade. On the desktop I use the wajig wrapper, which lets me do 'wajig update; wajig new; wajig new-upgrades' before I do any upgrade and/or install.

pacman notifies you of which packanges are upgradable (either by new release or new package version) then prompts before installing. If you are wanting to do so on an individual basis, you can do so via yaourt wrapper:
yaourt -Syu and you will be prompted to update all or choose manually.

Then again, you have the option of doing it like in debian (seperately):
pacman -Sy to update
pacman -Su to upgrade.

At any rate, you were absolutely right in that an update should be done before an upgrade to ensure the newest packages are pulled :-)
