@SparkyLinux@mastodon.social Hello. Can you pls help me understand the correct procedure to update my longterm Sparky Testing Semi-Rolling from to .

https://sparkylinux.org/sparky-9-code-name-and-repos/ says i need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.sources, but atm that first file does not exist:

droppie@sparkylinuxtower[/etc/apt/sources.list.d] 2239 Fri Aug 22 $> ls -la

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  274 Feb  3  2025 sparky.sources
Am i supposed to create a new file with that name, or is something wrong?

Otoh,
https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/upgrade_8_to_9 slightly contradicts that first link. It says to edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list, which also does not exist atm.

Then there's
https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/repository_testing which gives different advice again.

Help, pls?
