Using testing (sarge) in production.
Hi all, I read Teun Vink's posting about his Apache problems with unstable. I am currently using a mixture of stable and testing in production systems, depending on which versions of the applications I require. What are your experiences with testing in production environments? I have not had any problems but I would like to know others' experience. Most of our production systems are web/database systems. Also, do packages in testing get updated as security vulnerabilies occur? or only when the maintainers wish to upload a newer version?

Hi Fred, The first bit I can't say much about.. it's woody all the way here, but planning is made on bringen sarge in our env., but that's a long way from here. About the security updates. No, there is a security administration within Debian, but I read that they only work on the current stable version. When there is a update, the maintainer wil issue the new release, and not the security team, but they work together.. in any case. http://www.debian.org/security/faq Cheers, Mark Hi all, I read Teun Vink's posting about his Apache problems with unstable.

Hi, We try to minimize the use of testing, but in some cases we had no real other option, since we really needed woody stuff when potato was still stable, and backporting would imply backporting way too many packages to keep the systems stable. Up 'till now, we haven't had many problems with running testing in production, although I must say that we started using testing (before woody was released), when it was pretty mature. For now, all we're still planning to migrate some of our more complicated machines to woody. We're not running testing on production machines yet, and I don't see many reasons for now to do so, but all will depend on how fast Debian will release their next release...
