upgrades: Preparing for dist-upgrade and opt-out
- Prepare to handle backports related to #1644 (closed), where a new version of backports may become available later.
- Move backports security notice to Security page.
- Enable backports on testing in development mode only.
Remove periodic check to enable backports. Backports are still enabled during setup on stable and testing+develop. Prepares for #1855 (closed).- Split apt preferences into 2 files: one for
freedombox
, and one for apps.freedombox
is always set to current release's backports, but the apps file entries are specific to a release.
When backports can be activated for the current release (note that most users won't see this):
After activating backports for the current release:
Tests:
- Ran functional tests for upgrades, security, and help on testing/unstable.
- Ran "upgrades setup" and "upgrades setup-repositories" actions on testing/unstable.
- Activated backports on testing in develop mode.
- Additional tests listed per commit.
Next steps are to actually implement #1855 (closed) and #1644 (closed).
