  • Target version changed from Tails_3.1 to Tails_3.2

Dear sajolida, I’m afraid this may have to be postponed :( See Feature #8859#note-38 for details.

#4 Updated by intrigeri 2017-09-15 07:27:09

  • Priority changed from Normal to Elevated

The code changes were merged into the devel branch already. There’s quite some work left to do (see Feature #8860 if curious) but now that it’s in, updating the doc gets higher prio.

Cody: would you mind reviewing this in time for 3.2 (September 26)?

> Will review this week!

Excellent, thanks! :)

Bonus points if this gets review early in the week, to increase the chances translators pick it up and we don’t release 3.2 with installation/upgrade doc available only in English.

I believe an additional screenshot will be needed for “Manually upgrade from another Tails.”

I’m looking at config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/doc/tails/website/upgrade/clone.en.html

Under step 4/4, “Upgrade your Tails,” sub-step 4 says: “To start the upgrade, click on the Upgrade button.” However, the screenshot shows an “Install” button.

If I’m correct, please let me know and I’ll take an appropriate screenshot and fix ASAP!

I believe I have addressed the issue correctly (or have at least illustrated what I’m talking about) in my branch:

Yeap, you fixed that. Thanks for spotting it!

I added 4 more tiny commits on top of yours and I think that now we’re good.

Please have a last look!

Looks good! Ready to be merged!

Merging then, thanks!

  • Status changed from Resolved to In Progress
  • Assignee set to cbrownstein
  • Target version changed from Tails_3.2 to Tails_3.6

We missed updated at least https://tails.boum.org/upgrade/tails/ which still reads “Click on the Upgrade from ISO button.”.

Actually, the scenario has to be changed in depth. Right we create the intermediary Tails by doing “Clone” + “Upgrade from ISO” while now we can do “Install from ISO” from Tails. That’s merging steps 2 and 3.

That’s quite complicated then :)

Cody: Do you mind reviewing this again? I’m removing a lot of stuff from /upgrade/tails.

Everything you did looks good! But, I noticed this while reviewing your work:

https://tails.boum.org/upgrade/tails/index.en.html

Step 6/6

“3. Choose USB stick in the Target USB stick drop-down list.”

That should be:

“3. Choose your USB stick in the Target USB stick drop-down list.”

I fixed that in my branch:

So cool that you spotted that. I merged both branches!
