That's interesting about Debian and dist-upgrade. I think I had assumed everyone had consolidated on Ubuntu, but every Ubuntu installation I've run has been a short-lived VPS, so I haven't had to think too much about long-term upgrades. But maybe that's the new mindset—just periodically wipe everything out and reinstall your application from a script/container/what-have-you.
- ilyt 3y agoThat's certainly a way, especially that reinstall takes about as much as full upgrade. But I use configuration management anyway to keep the machines consistent, and, well, upgrade is less work than reinstall... especially if talking hardware that can take 5+ minutes just to reboot (which is like every actual enterprise server I saw).
