bergentroll Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Hi! I am using armbian nightly image on my Orange Pi PC 2. Need I every time unpack a new build to the memory card to keep system up to date, or there is enought to make upgrade with apt? I mean will I get all the same updates as on fresh images from the armbian's repository?

Nightlies are made for testing purposes without additional considerations regarding upgrades. apt upgrade will affect the kernel, DT and board support package, but will not affect boot script changes, default package list changes and some build time tweaks. In the end if you are using nightly images not for testing purposes it's better to not upgrade the kernel and DT unless you need something specific that will only appear in the newer kernel. For example due to ongoing migration to kernel 4.11 DVFS will be broken on H5 boards (including PC2) if you update from earlier kernel. 1
