+1 to replacing *apt-get upgrade* with *apt-get install rsyslog*. I do that 9 times out of 10 when I upgrade rsyslog, because: - if I'm on a client's machine, I want to avoid breaking any currently working stuff - even if the machine is mine, sometimes I just want to quickly upgrade rsyslog do take advantage of a feature or a bugfix, I don't want to spend time upgrading the kernel and all that, plus verifying that other things still work
I agree with David's and Rainer's comments about keeping the system updated as a good practice, especially when it comes to security. However, Otis is also right that people often copy-paste (yours truly included) and if something goes wrong they tend to blame the CTRL+C place. I don't think it's our responsibility to encourage/push people to keep their systems up-to-date. Especially developer's machines - if my laptop is anywhere near the average, they can be extremely messy :) _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
