Description : Non-interactive upgrade debian system
(Include the long description here.)
This script will upgrade running debian system and email the
result: what was upgraded, from what version to what and
for what period of time. The actual upgrade will be done only if
all index files will be successfully updated, all required
packages will be successfully downloaded, and finally only if the
simulating of upgrade will be finished without errors. All old
configuration files are preserved and can be compared with new
*.dpkg-dist files. It is intended to be used as cron job.
Man pages supplied for the script and config file. It is already packaged,
archived and available with sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.inist.ru/debian-inist/ ./
I am using it on development and production servers for an years to upgrade
running systems every night.
