Re: Install security upgrades by default in jessie?
OK, As nobody seems for a against, let's clarify. 2014-04-11 22:31 GMT+02:00 Mathieu Parent (Debian) sath...@debian.org: Hello all, Currently, Debian, as installed by default (unless a DE is installed too) doesn't install security fixes automatically. An experienced user will activate this and keep all machines safe [user-updates], but others will have a less secure computer. Couldn't we activate security upgrades by default? Which tool? unattended-upgrades? Answering myself: u-u seems the best solution. How/where? d-i only? debootstrap? tasksel? ... debootrap seems too low level: it will add a additional 55MB (+16%) because of python deps. Proposal: install u-u from d-i (with a question of low priority, true by default)[1], and change u-u to have unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates defaults to true.
