Re: Securing Debian Manual: 4.2 Execute a security update
Personally, I don't do any automatic updates, however I do run
apticron, which emails me a list every day, including a list of
urgency levels, and a description of each package being upgraded. I
then go through and prioritize my upgrades based on the function of
the server (e.g. if there is a new BIND package, it will raise the
priority of the upgrade on the DNS server). The same applies to the
urgency. If a package has urgency=high or urgency=emergency, then it
will definitely be a higher priority than a low update of a package
that is not crucial on the system...
