Re: MP2 on FreeBSD - How often to update Apache/MP/Libapreq/Perl?

[Ryan Perry]

one can do that! use a cron job for portsnap, then once a week do: portupgrade -arR On the other hand, you probably don't need to.  If you applications are stable, it's probably only worth your time if there is a major change, security flaw, significant performance increase, important bug fix which affects you, etc. HTH, Ryan On Feb 25, 2006, at 1:11 PM, Jonathan wrote: I decided to upgrade my production box last night for some apps (its FreeBSD 6.0 ) not fun. the port system does a great job , but without me realizing it, i had set Perl  to upgrade as well which means i'm now sifting through all the errors and manually deinstall/reinstall things that couldn't be automated this makes me wonder -- how often do you all upgrade your ports for MP2 dependencies (ie apache2/perl)? this is really just a 'best realistic practices' question. it would be nice to have everything at the lastest version, but in all practicality, one can't do that.
