How often is it updated?
My question is how often is Drupal kept up to date in the repos? We're looking at using the drupal6 package on our Ubuntu servers as a production machine for (initially) 30 pubic sites from a major Michigan school district.
We're running 10.04 server, so I'm aware that the actual version number reported will sit at 6.16. What I'm curious about is how often is it patched from upstream releases? Looking at the Ubuntu change log, it was last patched for Drupal bug SA-CORE-2010-001, which was back with an upstream release of 6.16. Shouldn't it be more on 6.16-5, if you're patching from 6.17, 6.18, 6.19, and 6.20?
The latest upstream release is 6.20, but it doesn't look like the Drupal package for ubuntu has been patched for these bugs. How often do you patch these bugs? The drupal package from Debian looks like it's patched more often.
Would you recommend just installing from source on drupal.org? It was a higher-up who decided to go with using a repo package for Drupal to make upgrading take less time. However if it will make more sense to simply manage it ourselves instead of a repo, then I could try to convince him.
