    Upgrading and PPA's

    I have my home on a separate partition from /. When 10.10 comes out I will simply upgrade from the Live disc to the new version and keep my home. Question is, I have several PPA's that I am using for keep several programs updates. How will I be able to keep these PPA's through the upgrade process, since I have no idea where I got them from over the past year. I thought that with each upgrade the sources.list gets upgraded as well and you need to add all the repositories again... Thanks!

    You probably should disable the PPAs before upgrading, and re-enable them afterwards, remembering to change any instances of "lucid" to "maverick." Copy your current /etc/apt/sources.list and/or the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d to your /home/user folder.

    Fresh install = no ppa. Nothing to disable
