Today I wanted to upgrade a busy server (busy with apache & proftp). I put apache & proftp on hold in /var/lib/dpkg/status, then ran apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade. No problem, no downtime. I'll get around to upgrading apache & proftp when activity is a bit lower, but aside from those two packages I've upgraded the whole system with 0 downtime. (well, maybe a second or two while the services restarted due to the libc6 upgrade...) But a reboot certainly wasn't required. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpcXJ22DuD9S.pgp Description: PGP signature

What problems? Just A LOT of tweaks I can't upgrade, it would require restarting and that would blow my record on necraft.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

We haven't yet announced anything officially. We do want to continue to support it for a longer time than we supported slink when it became obsolete. We'll do our best, but we have limited resources and woody will be the priority. Help from the user community would certainly be appreciated. If bugs are found that affect potato, we'd certainly like to hear about it. Technical details and/or a patch to fix it would be even better. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpq8GlV2UpY9.pgp Description: PGP signature
