Hello,

Disclaimer :  This is not a global solution but rather a very
focused workaround that does not introduce much additional work.

In most of the case the important bugs are found in the few days following
the releases so it would be interesting to be able to know about this
without tracking  the bugs tracker. I know sure that few people know about
this information. It would be extremely useful if it could be written
somewhere.

The next step is how to make sure that only "stable" release are suggested
by update mechanism of the package manager. I am not sure what is the best
solution for this a "stable" ppa or some settings in the deb conf.

Does someone has a bullet proof solution to only update cherokee to given
version using cherokee ppa ? and how to rollback to the last known stable
solution ?

This seems to be a piece of the puzzle :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto but I don't have yet the
complete process in mind.

Regards,
--yml
