Does the OS version change during the upgrade?

[Member iconoclast]

Today I updated my antix-19 to the antix-21 version according to this instruction. My software has been updated, new packages have appeared (for example guix), however, inxi and grub display my system as antix-19. Is this how it should be? Or did I do something wrong?

Hi … what is the result of:
cat /etc/*-release | grep "PRETTY_NAME" | sort -r

Simple answer – no it doesn’t

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Your best thing is to leave the resource names alone, that way, if there is diagnostic work needed, we will know from which original image the software was built.

For those who want to change the values anyway, in the “/etc” directory, the files os-release contain things like this:

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

and the file antix-version contains antiX-21-runit_x64-base Grup Yorum 30 October 2021

Also, for historical purposes the file “/etc/issue” contains Welcome to antiX. Powered by Debian.

(I AM running antiX 21 runit, so these are the values of these files on my system).

@anticapitalista and @masinick Thanks for the answer, I thought I did something wrong. 😉

No, if everything is correct, then I will not change anything. There are new packages and that’s fine.

I have another question then: when updating, I wrote a line with the repository from the official website in antix.list (in my case, this is a russian mirror – deb https://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/MX-Linux/MX-Packages/antix/bullseye/ bullseye main nosystemd nonfree), however, after updating, today I found that this file has changed and instead of the previous repository, there is a new one:
deb http://la.mxrepo.com/antix/bullseye bullseye main nosystemd nonfree
Does it make sense to return the original repository?

For the repositories, you can use if you want the repo-manager to get the faster one.
sudo repo-manager &

I don’t know how this one works where you are, but it’s pretty responsive most of the time from where I sit in South Carolina- USA. This repo is in Rochester, New York. When I ran the repo-manager today, the cogento.com mirror in Herndon, VA was the fastest this time (so it can vary somewhat).
