When the upgrade completes, ''edge'' currently issues a messege encouraging users to install {{pkg|merge-usr}} package, that would update the base filesystem hierarchy. Consult [https://alpinelinux.org/posts/2025-10-01-usr-merge.html news release on usr-merge] for background information including the rationale.
This update is currently not a requirement, but will be implemented in the future as part of standard system upgrade to a [[Upgrading_Alpine#Upgrading_to_latest_release|new release]] as mentioned in {{Issue|17624}}.
{{Warning|If any error is reported on running {{ic|$ doas merge-usr --dryrun}}, do not proceed with next steps, as this would break your system. Instead, it would be appreciated if you could kindly submit a '''[https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/issues bug report]''' and provide all requested information when doing so.}}

An upgrade of Alpine Linux from a stable version to the rolling development version edge basically requires the same steps as Upgrading to latest release.

When editing the /etc/apk/repositories file, all referenced repository versions (such as v3.23 or latest-stable) therein need to be pointing to edge as follows.
