Hi there,
I need a little help.
It's time for an OS upgrade of one of our Ubuntu Focal (LTS) server, for a year has been running successfully a R installation here, which we installed according to the official instructions.
(https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/)
With a lot of packages installed and needed, fine tuning, different databases connected (at least 20 of them). So my question, because I've read a lot of descriptions about this and they are not clear,
how to do this OS upgrade without the most pain, do I really have to reinstall the whole R?
Like this: sudo apt-get purge r-base r-recommended r-cran-, sudo apt autoremove
Do I have to do all the settings again and reinstall the packages?
Or is it sufficient to update the repos to "Jammy"?
Thank you for any possible guidance on this topic
Br,
Sedon
