A New Major Update is now available!

2/7/2018

An important update has released for feren-os-majorupdate. If you haven't updated to version 2018.07.0.0.1 or above, and haven't Major Updated yet, you should upgrade that package now, as well as make sure that 'feren-ppas' is up to date too.
Well, you've all waited patiently for this moment, and now I'm happy to announce that I have dropped all the packages required for upgrading Feren OS to an Ubuntu 18.04/Mint 19-based Feren OS.

Here's what you need to do:
1. Go into Update Manager
2. Hit 'Refresh'
3. Once the updates list has been refreshed, select 'feren-os-majorupdate' to be updated, and hit 'Install Updates'
4. Restart the system when you want to begin the long update process, and confirm that you'd like to update there and then the next time Feren OS boots.

If you can't find an update for 'feren-os-majorupdate', here's what you need to do:
1. Go into Software/Software Manager
2. Search for 'feren-os-majorupdate'
3. Go to 'feren-os-majorupdate' (Package) and install it
4. Restart the system when you want to begin the long update process, and confirm that you'd like to update there and then the next time Feren OS boots.

NOTE: If you still have 'feren-system-packages' installed, then that package should pull down the 'feren-os-majorupdate' package for you onto the system, assuming it's up to date.

For businesses, you can still schedule the Major Update if you haven't already done so, by checking this blog post.

Again, thank you everyone for waiting patiently for this update path to be added in, and a huge thanks to those who helped test the Major Updater, as well, thanks to all the hard work, the general users should now be able to comfortably update over to 18.04-based Feren OS.
PS: If you do catch wind of an error relating to the package 'acpid', don't worry about it. I know about that issue, and so implemented a next-boot script that then fixes that issue automatically for you the next time Feren OS boots after the Major Update, before then clearing out the remains of the Major Updater, now it's then not needed, for now, so that you can get right back to managing installed applications, packages, etc.
Oh, and regarding the ISO: That's coming a little bit later, I was mainly focusing on the upgrade path for now, and so haven't yet started on the next snapshot's ISO (based on Mint 19.0 Cinnamon).

    It's great making something for the community that might become quite big and remain for a very long time to continue serving the community and helping Linux as a result.
