crp Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 at least for our purposes, nothing shattering. i'll wait a couple of weeks to see if issues come up with the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnian Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 With Debian Stable, I don't worry about updates breaking anything. I didn't even hesitate to bring in these updates for my Debian 8 installations. Issues could come up, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Like all OSes, I do wait for the early adopters to work out the initial bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon James Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Like all OSes, I do wait for the early adopters to work out the initial bugs. Agreed! I only use Ubuntu LTS versions; but even then, I wait for the point release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnian Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Better to be safe than sorry, I suppose, but how often does a Debian Stable point release cause problems? Perhaps it's more common than what I've experienced here. I don't recall ever seeing any breakage after bringing in updates for Stable. Lol, I probably just jinxed myself! Oh, well, I've already done it, maybe I should keep my fingers crossed. Makes it kinda hard to type, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Point release is mainly to make up-to-date media available for new installations. If you have an installed Jessie system and regularly update and upgrade, your system will be up to date anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
