  • Bug#1077313: release-notes: Add -f parameter to script in section 4.4.1

    From Ariel@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 28 11:20:02 2024

    Package: release-notes
    Severity: normal

    The advice to record the upgrade session using the script command in section 4.4.1 should include the -f flag.

    There are two reasons for this:

    1: If the system crashes the session log will be as current as possible.
    2: The document recommends switching to VT2 to view the file, however without -f you won't see any output in the file, or at least not current output.
