[OSGeo-Discuss] update osgeo live 5.0 to osgeolive 7.0

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Andreas,

This upgrade process described here will only work for packages that are 
available as deb files.
So Java applications will not be upgraded at all.

This is why I have been pushing to switch to deb only setup for the next 
versions of OSGeoLive...

Best,
Angelos
