applying OS updates ...

Hi,

When using the Djigzo appliance 1.3.1-0, should updates to the underlying OS (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) be applied?
If so, how should they be handled? Like so: 'apt-get update', then 'apt-get upgrade'?

Thanks!

Djigzo fits really nice in the OS by using the standard paket
handling, so yes you can and should apply OS updates to be on the save
side. You should only keep in mind that Jetty/Tomcat configuration is
customized so when updates like to alter the config you should check
what is going on.

P.S: For some updates like kernel change you need "apt-get dist-upgrade"

If the Virtual Appliance is used the OS can be updated using the Virtual
Appliance console tool using Other -> Update.

Since release 1.3 Tomcat is used by default instead of Jetty and Tomcat
should also be updated by Ubuntu if needed. An OS security update should
in principle never overwrite existing settings.
