-      Garage provides a cookbook documentation on how to upgrade:

-        Garage has two types of upgrades: patch-level upgrades and
-        minor/major version upgrades.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        In all cases, you should read the changelog and ideally test the
-        upgrade on a staging cluster.

-      <para>
-        Until 1.0 is released, patch-level upgrades are considered as
-        minor version upgrades. Minor version upgrades are considered as
-        major version upgrades. i.e. 0.6 to 0.7 is a major version
-        upgrade.

-          Garage do not provide any guarantee on moving more than one
-          major-version forward. E.g., if you’re on
-          <literal>0.7</literal>, you cannot upgrade to
-          <literal>0.9</literal>. You need to upgrade to
-          <literal>0.8</literal> first. As long as
-          <link linkend="opt-system.stateVersion">stateVersion</link> is
-          declared properly, this is enforced automatically. The module
-          will issue a warning to remind the user to upgrade to latest

-    <title>Maintainer information</title>
-    <para>
-      As stated in the previous paragraph, we must provide a clean
-      upgrade-path for Garage since it cannot move more than one major
-      version forward on a single upgrade. This chapter adds some notes
-      how Garage updates should be rolled out in the future. This is
-      inspired from how Nextcloud does it.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      While patch-level updates are no problem and can be done directly
-      in the package-expression (and should be backported to supported
-      stable branches after that), major-releases should be added in a
-      new attribute (e.g. Garage <literal>v0.8.0</literal> should be
-      available in <literal>nixpkgs</literal> as
-      <literal>pkgs.garage_0_8_0</literal>). To provide simple upgrade
-      paths it’s generally useful to backport those as well to stable
-      branches. As long as the package-default isn’t altered, this won’t
-      break existing setups. After that, the versioning-warning in the
-      <literal>garage</literal>-module should be updated to make sure
-      that the
-      <link linkend="opt-services.garage.package">package</link>-option
-      selects the latest version on fresh setups.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      If major-releases will be abandoned by upstream, we should check
-      first if those are needed in NixOS for a safe upgrade-path before
-      removing those. In that case we shold keep those packages, but
-      mark them as insecure in an expression like this (in
-      <literal>&lt;nixpkgs/pkgs/tools/filesystem/garage/default.nix&gt;</literal>):

-      Ideally we should make sure that it’s possible to jump two NixOS
-      versions forward: i.e. the warnings and the logic in the module
-      should guard a user to upgrade from a Garage on e.g. 22.11 to a
-      Garage on 23.11.
