Description

When opening the Tails installer, there is a documentation link pointing to the installation assistant.

But this link doesn’t cover all options for the Tails installer, it just talks about upgrading the USB stick with Clone & Install.

So, we should consider providing a link for the upgrade options (Manual upgrade using Tails Installer).

Now that we have Feature #9005 we should replace the link “Installation Instructions” with a link to “Manual Upgrade Instructions” when a Tails USB stick is selected.

kurono: Are you interested in working on this?

Hey, sorry for the delay!

I like what I can understand from 07bca4da but I couldn’t test it because I’m not sure about your Git history…

When I do:

git log --pretty=oneline origin/master..kurono/bug/7904-change-link-upgrade-instructions

I get 589 commits of difference between origin and your branch.

Can you double-check your Git history?

Then you can probably reassign it to intrigeri to see if he can find a reviewer for the code.

Ah yeah my master branch was mixed, I have fixed the problem.

Code review passes but I’d rather see help_install_link renamed to help_link, to better express what it is about. What do you think?

help_install_link is still used in data/tails-installer.ui.
