No Updates for about a Week!?

[goldenboy]

Hi,
I'm currently getting a little surprised at the missing of any updates regarding the "Hoary Hedgehog"-release since almost a week.

In the /etc/apt/sources.list i've - besides others - activated the security, updates and backports repositories (attached you can find my sources.list).

Am I the only one expiriencing this lag of updates, or is there something wrong with my system - which I have no idea of what it could be?

regards

Trouble? You have to remember Hoary is a stable distribution, wich means you won't get a daily flood of updates like on other distributions. Backported or not, packages need to get tested forehand. What file's so important for you to update that hasn't been?

If you'd like a 105% updated system, change to the Breezy repositories and dist-upgrade.

No real trouble. I was just wondering since there has not been such a long period without any updates since I installed kubuntu...

Would you recommend dist-upgrading to breezy for a system needed to be productive?? I tried it 1-2 Month ago and it kept an crashing really frequently :(

No! Absolutely not. If you want to be productive, don't upgrade before october.

Yeah, this isn't Fedora Core, where the latest release had about 100 patches by the end of the first official release date!

Ubuntu is meant to be bug-free at release, then updated only for security purposes.

Backports is meant to supplement this by adding safe version updates to desktop apps (where you really care about the version). There's only so much to backport; you start running out of outdated apps eventually ;)
