hey,
reading the debian weekly news, i noticed a couple packages that i
have installed with newly-discovered security holes in them. the
newsletter says about these packages "you know the drill." well, i
don't ...
Assuming you have these
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
in /etc/apt/sources.list (you only need the second if you're likely to build from source)
(make sure you have all the seconds you need)
then
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
I run this nightly:
cat bin/updates #!/bin/bash apt-get -qq update apt-get -yud upgrade
so all the updates I need are downloaded ready for me to
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -yu upgrade
without having to wait for stuff to download.
