Not only is there no need to repair permissions prior to system updates, but there hasn't been any reason to regularly repair permissions since at least 10.3. Back in the day, there were a lot of bugs and/or poor code that required way-too-frequent permissions fixes. That was why repairing permissions was always considered a panacea. However, that was a long time ago and Mac OS has come a long way.
Even after all this time, it's nice to read something that tells me I "done good" when I held out. OS 9.2 was very stable. I was quite content to let others experience the early
"Cats" while I waited in the shadows. And :fingerscrossed:/:knockonwood: I have yet to experience a kernel panic with Leopard, nor have I ever needed to repair permissions. :clap:
