A few times a year. To put this in perspective, I try to do major |
| 8 |
updates (-uDN world) once a month. I used to do this weekly but can't |
| 9 |
now due to time constraints. I find once a month is not too long - still |
| 10 |
updateable without headaches caused by waiting half a year or more... |

Nope, although I use @preserved-rebuild more. |

I still use RR after a major update as it occasionally picks up |
| 24 |
something that @preserved-rebuild misses. Last time it happened was a |
| 25 |
month ago, but I can't recall the package, it was something to do with |
| 26 |
multimedia, like libass or similar (on one of my mythtv frontends.) |
