Just spent hours updating a whack of debian boxes one of which has not been updated for a very very long while. So much still to do on it, but since some was installed by source I think I will wait and convert it over to using debian packages so I dont have to track down source updates all the time and do all that by hand. Should not be a huge deal as the config files should work nice once I put them in a standard location. My god it is late and I have lost all track of time in this mass upgrade… I just hope tomorrow I dont get a ton of calls about things not working. :) I still find it best to not tell them you are doing upgrades because if they know they will say something is slower or not working right when it is working just the same as before. The other plus is you can play the old “I dont know what happened, let me take a look at this”. In truth though if they do call because there have been so many updates today I wont really know what it is… Logs are your friend.
