Great! Thanks. I can get the change notes via: aptitude changelog <pkgname> .. for each package, and then presumably just need to "apt-get install" the selected packages. So that's the theory covered... NB: Since this is primarily for use on internal servers (ie not Internet facing) I plan on using the sudoers file to grant the web user (www-data) passwordless access to apt-get/aptitude. Can anyone give me reasons why that is a bad idea and/or suggest how else to do this? -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG
