Debian Jessie/Raspbian Changelogs

Tue Apr 19, 2016 10:22 pm

I regularly check to see if there are updates on Jessie using:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
and then I run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade
to install anything that is available.

Instead of hit and miss, is it easier to just check the changelog here?

That link only contains updates to firmware and kernel and probably some other tools.
It will not update you about a critical security flaw that has been fixed in SSL or Apache or any software you might use.

So where are the changelogs?

Each package has its own changelog. There are so many and so many updates that you can't really condense them.
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

• Don't like the board ? Missing features ? Change to the prosilver theme ! You can find it in your settings.
• Don't like to search the forum BEFORE posting 'cos it's useless ? Try googling : yoursearchtermshere site:raspberrypi.org

Why not:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
