Is there anyone who has done the in-place upgrade from byzantium to crimson on the Librem 5 who can tell me what the actual size of the download is? (Doco says allow 8 GB disk space free but that doesn’t explicitly say how much needs to be downloaded, approximately.)
According to the output that I saved:
1352 upgraded, 368 newly installed, 14 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1,024 MB/1,025 MB of archives.
After this operation, 1,444 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Is that what you’re looking for?
I can post the full remove/upgrade/download/install output here if you want.
(I imagine I might have had various packages previously installed on my system that you don’t.
I don’t know if that had an effect on my download from the new repos… included packages, etc.)
I performed the upgrade over ssh, if that’s relevant here.
And I don’t know if the package list has changed since I upgraded in early December 2025.
P.S. I did not use the new PureOS Upgrade package.
Yes. Thanks.
Yes, it will. I wasn’t after an exact number - because it will vary from user to user. I was just after a ballpark number so that I know whether I should leave the download running overnight or hang around for it to finish or somewhere in between.
Almost certainly things will have changed since then but hopefully not markedly.
