Re: Debian 4.0 Upgrade ???
_ From: Account for Debian group mail [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Thu, 27 Dec 2007 08:43:46 -0900 Subject: Debian 4.0 Upgrade ??? Hello all, Did we just get an Debian 4.0 Upgrade? I have updated a couple of machines here and received a lot of different programs including the kernel, libc6 and perl. The last time I up graded these machines was less than a week ago. I looked on www.debian.org and see nothing there. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks, Ken Yes! The Debian Projecthttp://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 updated[EMAIL PROTECTED] December 27th, 2007 http://www.debian.org/News/2007/20071227 Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 updated The Debian project is pleased to announce the second update of its stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename etch). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustment to serious problems. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away 4.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update against ftp.debian.org after an installation, in order to incorporate those late changes. Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update. New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively will be available soon at the regular locations. Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at: http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist Debian-Installer Update --- The installer has been updated to use and support the updated kernels included in this release. This change causes old netboot and floppy images to stop working; updated versions are available from the regular locations. Other changes include stability improvements in specific situations, improved serial console support when configuring grub, and added support for SGI O2 machines with 300MHz RM5200SC (Nevada) CPUs (mips). Miscellaneous Bugfixes -- This stable update adds several binary updates for various architectures to packages whose version was not synchronised across all architectures. It also adds a few important corrections to the following packages: Package Reason apache2 Fix of several CVEs apache2-mpm-itk Rebuild for apache2 rebuilds bonson Rebuild against lib3ds-dev cdebconfFix of several memory leaks debconf Fix possible hangs during netboot installs dosemu-freedos Remove unused non-free code enigmailFix regression introduced by icedove 1.5.0.10 fai-kernels Recompile for Linux Kernel rebuilds findutils Fix locate heap buffer overflow (CVE-2007-2452) flashplugin-nonfree New upstream release fixes security problems glibc Fix nscd crash gnome-heartsAdded missing dependency gnome-panel Fix authentication bypass iceweasel-l10n Remove roa-es-val translation and updated ca package description joystickBring architectures back in sync kernel-patch-openvz Rebuild for Debian Kernel rebuild klibc Fixes nfsroot on mips(el) lib3ds Fix strict-aliasing errors libdbi-perl Fix potential dataloss libmarc-charset-perlBring architectures back in sync libnarray-ruby Rebuild against current ruby1.8 to fix a wrong library install directory linux-latest-2.6Rebuild for Linux Kernel rebuild lvm2Fix to work correctly with striped lvm1 metadata mpopRebuild against etch (i386 only) multipath-tools Move priority of initscript opalFix CVE-2007-4924 openscenegraph Bring architectures back in sync openvpn Rebuild against liblzo2 to fix general protection errors. pam Fix CVE-2005-2977 po4aFix CVE-2007-4462 postgresql-8.1 Fix regression introduced in 8.1.9 pwlib Fix

Write a short shell script to do what you need, looking something like #!/bin/sh mrtg dosomething and put the file in /etc/cron.daily (presuming you want it run once a day).
