stretch-backports vs stretch-updates
I want my upgrades to get both from stretch-backports and stretch-updates. How to configure apt to get both? What should be /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/preferences? -- Victor Porton - http://portonvictor.org

Why stretch-backports does not work for kate package?
Backports is meant to install a package using old libs.

I received no satisfactory answer. So I feel that there is no Debian policy on using port numbers. This policy should be added to Debian! It may be something like: "Debian packages (with default configuration) are allowed to bind ports 1-1. Ports 10001-32000 are available for users." Please discuss. -- Victor Porton - http://portonvictor.org

The list of port numbers you pointed to me is a subset (or at least not a superset) of the full list used by Debian packages. Assuring that my port is not in this IANA list is not enough to ensure that my port number will not clash with a port number used by a Debian package (by default). So your answer to my question is wrong. > On 01.10.2017 06:04, Victor Porton wrote: >> We are going to install a range of software on a Debian Linux >> installation.

Free TCP/IP port numbers?
We are going to install a range of software on a Debian Linux installation. Because we run the same software (such as Celery) several times, we need to use port numbers different than the standard Debian port numbers chosen by default (because we can't run more than one instance of a server with the same port, and thus using the standard port number for all servers would fail). How to choose TCP/IP port numbers for server software we run in such a way that they don't clash with "standard" Debian port numbers? In Debian are there any ranges of port numbers dedicated (so that they wouldn't clash with "standard" that is used by default port numbers) for servers configured by users? Note that we run (at least some of) our software not as root, so we can't use ports below 1024. -- Victor Porton - http://portonvictor.org
How often to reboot a production Web server?
I've setup a VPS based on Debian 6 yesterday. Today I've run `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade` to get security fixes. It updated libc6 and some other essential packages. Should I reboot my production Web server? If yes, how often? -- Victor Porton - http://portonvictor.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
