How often do you apply proxmox updates?

[entilza]

Quite a few patches/updates seem to be released. How often do you apply proxmox updates?

 

[Dominic]

Patches are sent to the pve-devel mailing list. They get applied as soon as possible to git. How long it takes the packages to then arrive in public repositories is not fixed. For example, if something has been broken by accident, it is likely to be published faster.

You can get commiter date & subject by git log --format="%cD %s". For pve-manager (one of the more important repositories) you get:
