How often do you guys upgrade your Debian testing installation? Is it better to do it at short (i.e. every day) or long (i.e. every other week) intervals? Why?

It is entirely up to you, but there are some things you should consider.

  • Debian testing is more likely to have major or security bugs fixed by an update (for being testing obviously)
  • Daily updating makes the download trivial, every-other-week updating could be cumbersome specially on slowish internet connections.
  • If you do report bugs, then daily updating is a must.
