Debian 8.1

[fnichol]

Once 8.0 has flowed through, we should be able to get this one done quickly.

[rmoriz]

Just a bit confused as the 8.0 image already reports to be 8.1?!

@rmoriz Woah, that is odd! I'm pretty suspect of this now and think that's not quite correct. What do you think?

[rmoriz]

yes, good catch!

[fnichol]

I'm doubling checking the man page now, but I'm fairly sure this could upgrade to the latest point release? I'm a bit more familiar with apt-get dist-upgrade from Ubuntu, so just want to make sure I understand.

[rmoriz]

not sure, problem is that the 8.0.0 images are already gone…
old images still at http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/8.0.0/

[rfc1459]

@fnichol: from apt's POV there is no such thing as a point release, so an upgrade or a dist-upgrade will inevitably pull in the latest available packages from the archive.

That's intended behaviour, point releases are part of the normal update track of a Debian (major) release. This also means that if you want to differentiate (say) 8.0 and 8.1 you will end up with an image lacking potentially critical security updates.

With 617d007 this is complete: 8.0 definitions removed, 8.1 templates built/uploaded, and links updated.
