Do you upgrade your chroot?

[john]

Hi all,

Sometimes I see a patch come down the the pipeline that makes me
wonder if I should be updating the file that lives in my chroot (the
recent tzdata file patch, for example). My normal practice is never to
update my chroot (on the "if it ain't broke..." principle), although I
do sometimes add software (most recently ntp for cron powered
shutodowns) to the chroot image.

My understanding is that one of the big reasons for the move to LTSP5
was to integrate the native package management features into the
chroot environment under the theory that folks really wanted to keep
those environments up to date.

So my question is: do you upgrade your chroot? Why or why-not?

Thanks!

John
