Need explanation on versions

[JulienD]

Hello,

 

Some weeks ago, I installed the "under development" version. File was named Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Odroidm1_kinetic_edge_6.1.0-rc5.img.xz

Now, I see that the "advertised" version is a rolling release armbian 22.11 Jammy.

 

Based on this (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) page kinetic is an earlier version than jammy. 

 

If I scroll down the page ( https://www.armbian.com/odroid-m1/ ) , I see a kinetic rolling weekly release.

 

I suspect that the kinetic is an unstabled release while Jammy 22.11 is. 

Please can you confirm/explain?

If yes, is there a way to "downgrade" to the stable version?

 

Thanks

Julien

Up/downgrades within userspaces (Bionic -> Focal, Buster -> Bullsyey) are neither tested nor supported. The reason is the simple lack of (human) res sources to test such scenarios.

 

Kinetic is an Ubuntu non-LTS intermediate release which receive no support from Armbian. They are mostly there as playground for developers. Only Bullseye and Jammy builds are supported.

Hi Werner,

 

Thanks for your answer.

To summarize, tell me if I'm wrong:

Armbian supports only LTS versions and does not provide any way to upgrade from an LTS to another.
