This sort of question about apt or yum comes up a lot. And though I can not tell how to get apt to do this...because I don't use apt. I do have to question whether or not its WORTH upgrading to the test release this way. As of now...using either apt/yum to upgrade to a new release is not something the Fedora Core developers are making a priority to test and make sure works. If you are able to use apt to upgrade to the new test release, and you have problems...your bugreports might not be useful at all...and their might be very little interest in helping fix the problems you encounter becuase you have used an un-supported upgrade path. I think..if you are going to be running the beta..and be a beta tester..you have to be willing to follow some basic rules on expected behavior. One of those rules have been that you are going to have to either upgrade from a previous official release using the ISO image based upgrade methods provided by the official installer. Or You will be doing a fresh install using the provided methods. Unless something has changed recently..very recently...having apt or yum work to do dist-upgrade like behavior is not something thats getting a lot of Fedora Core development attention. You can certainly try to do it, becuase both yum and apt have the ability to do this sort of thing...but if it goes wrong...your bugs might not be a high priority. Bug testing effort is best spent on issues developers want tested...and to-date I haven't seen much interest from the development side to make upgrading between releases with apt a high priority. -jef"thinks the website needs Tester Guidelines, to help give testers an indication of what the priorities are for different test releases"spaleta
