===== Upgrade Sparky from 7 to 8 =====

<WRAP center info 100%>
It should work with no problems, but remember: You do that on your own risk!
</WRAP>

To make dist upgrade from Sparky 7 to 8 do:

1. Backup your personal files to external disk or partition.

2. Change Debian repositories from **bookworm** to **trixie** at the file:

   /etc/apt/sources.list

So it should look like that:

   deb http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
   deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
   deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security/updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
   deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security/updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
   deb http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
   deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
   deb http://deb-multimedia.org/ trixie main non-free

3. Change Sparky repositories from **orion** to **sisters** at the file:

   /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list

So it should look like that:

   deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main
   deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main
   deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ sisters main
   deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ sisters main

4. Refresh package list:

   sudo apt update

5. Dist upgrade now:

   sudo apt full-upgrade

If any problem run:

   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
   sudo apt install -f
