Hi Joel, I am not a system administrator, so others might be able to give more information. But I thought this page might be helpful:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Set_up_package_sources I think following a codename (version number) will prevent the big updates from happening. If you also don't want to have monthly updates, you might have to do something else. I know it's possible. Hope it helps, Katrin On 13.06.19 22:45, Coehoorn, Joel wrote:
First, some background. We currently have a Koha server running 17.05. This server has been updated in place since sometime in 2012 or 2013, going back at least to version 3.04. For a variety of reasons, it's time to start over with our Koha install. To that end, I had setup a new Ubuntu 18.04 server and installed Koha 18.11 via the packages. Going forward, I hope to not fall two years behind again, but during the re-implementation phase we did not want to do and updates. Today I ran "apt upgrade" on the Ubuntu server console, and to my surprise watched the new server update koha-common to 19.05. My prior experience is this does **not** normally update the koha-common packages. Instead, I would need to change the sources or do a dist-upgrade. What did I miss here? In the future, how can I update the OS without updating the Koha application? I want to be able to install linux, apache, etc security updates during an academic term, and be able to save the koha application updates for between terms, when have down-time for review and staff training.
