---++++ Update Policy
---++++++ modified: Apr 18 2007
   * UPDATE POLICY IS STILL BEING DECIDED UPON.
   * If you would like your machine to be frozen during a conference freeze period, add your machine to the [[ConferenceFreezeDates][Conference Freeze Dates]] wiki page and send an email to imager-tech@cs.ubc.ca .
   * For Imager computers (subnet 54), if you don't want your machine to be upgraded, then turn off cfengine.
   * Frozen and non-frozen periods for updating machines will be determined at the Imager Tech Staff Meetings in accordance with the calendar of conferences.  There will be a 48 hour notification on updates during the non-frozen period.  No updates (including security updates) will occur during the frozen period.  The updates will be tested on 'tom' first, and 'tom' will generate an email to imager-tech when it is upgraded.
   * Look at the file /var/log/yum.log to see a list of recent updates to Linux machines.

   * Recommendations for setting permissions:  For most files = -rw------- (default, allows only you to read and write them.)  C/C++ programs and other programs = -rwx------ (also default, allows only you to read, execute and write them.)  See the man page on umask for information on how default permissions are set.  For more information go to: [[http://www.cs.ubc.ca/local/computing/unix/permissions.shtml][http://www.cs.ubc.ca/local/computing/unix/permissions.shtml]]
