Hi,

Packages for 3.22.0 and 3.20.6 are now available from the Koha APT
repository debian.koha-community.org.  With this upload, the stable
slot changes from 3.20.x to 3.22.x, the oldstable slot changes from
3.18.x to 3.20.x, and packages for 3.18.x are no longer available.

As the new package maintainer, I'm using a new signing key. In order
to fetch Koha's packages, you will need to install the new key like
this:

wget -q -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add -

If you are a current user of the 3.20.x packages and you want to
remain on 3.20.x for now, you should change to the oldstable slot in
your list of APT repositories.  One of way doing this is to ensure
that /etc/apt/sources.list includes the following line:

deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha oldstable main

If you are a current user of the 3.20.x packages and you want to
immediately upgrade to 3.22.0, you should remain on the stable slot.
This means that the repository list would contain:

deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main

After making sure that sources.list is specifying the slot you want to
use, run the following

sudo apt-get update

Then, to see what would happen if you were to upgrade koha-common, run
the command

apt-cache policy koha-common

Here's how the first few lines of the output of that command should
look if you're planning to upgrade from 3.20.5 to 3.22.0

koha-common:
  Installed: 3.20.05
  Candidate: 3.22.00

If you're staying on 3.20.x, it should look something like this:

koha-common:
  Installed: 3.20.05
  Candidate: 3.20.06

If the output is *NOT* what you would expect, double-check your APT
sources and rerun apt-get update.

To upgrade from one minor release to the next (e.g., from 3.20.5 to 3.20.6), do:

sudo apt-get upgrade

To do a major release upgrade (AND, potentially, upgrade a bunch of
other packages not related to Koha), do:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

To do a major release upgrade of koha-common without upgrading
packages that not related to Koha or its dependencies, do:

sudo apt-get install koha-common

One note about the 3.20.6 packages: they do not include the new
sitemap generator feature (bug 11190), as that feature introduces
additional dependencies that would prevent an apt-get upgrade from
working.  I urge users interested in this feature to consider
upgrading to 3.22.0.

Regards,

Galen
