Well, Debian has 'unattended upgrades' (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/unattended-upgrades), too. And frankly, it works pretty well and reliable. Sure, if you have services that you can't afford to be offline at all, like a fileserver for a large company, you would want to do everything manually. But for my home systems, I don't require such high reliability and availability. Nevertheless, in the past 5 years that I use unattended upgrades on Debian (from Squeeze to Jessie), I have had exactly one case in which an update (for samba) did not apply succesfully. My server sent me notification via email and installed the upgrade manually later (as well as solved the configuration issue that caused the upgrade to fail). For a home server, this is totally acceptable for me and the benefit of not having to take care of updates manually constantly definitly outweighs the minimal downtime I had during that one failed update. Even so, since I'm running the nightly versions of LMS, I apply updates for LMS manually (every 1-2 months). I have thought about a mechanism to automate this, but never pursued it since the frequency of LMS updates I apply is rather low. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ silentcreek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63007 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105804 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
