Upgrade without downloading your packages again.
My Ubuntu version is 11.04 and I wanna upgrade it to 12.04.
But for this purpose I have to re download my installed packages.
How can I reach to this purpose without downloading them again?( I have a ISO Ubuntu 12.04 whom I can burn it on a disk. )
I search about it and I found a way which I'm not sure about it.
The mentioned way is :
What is your opinion about it?Code:dpkg --get-selection > package_list dpkg --set-selection < package_list
are you believe that it can reach us to that point?
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
Why you have to download them again?
The upgrade process is for just migrate your apps and home user.
I think that your aproach may fail misserably....

Are you saying the Upgrade process do not change and remove the installed packages by user?Originally Posted by Sergius14

Yes, in theory your offical ubuntu packages will also be upgraded in the process. The exception being any packages that are not offered in 11.10/12.04 and PPA's will not be upgraded. Your 11.04 release has reached EOL so you can try upgrade and see how it goes.
Your upgrading to Unity/Gnome3, I say you can expect some breakage.

I upgraded a computer from 11.04 to 12.04 and it worked without any problems. (I don't remember if I had to upgrade via 11.10.)
However, you may have to add back any PPAs that you have manually added.
Just be sure to make full backups before you start; any upgrade always carries a risk.
Always make regular backups of your data (and test them).

Thanks, I created my launchpad account when I was running Maverick and my keys are still in that /home. I need to copy those.
