Why not possible, earlier it was updated
automatically. An entry is made in
crontab.
Don't mix up a) update of database
b) update of the software (binaries)
I've been using Linux since '99' and I even asked this question the first time I saw the listing in the update log.
I'm not big on making suggestions, especially in a situation where the development team appears to have everything under control. But perhaps it might be a good idea to include a little behind the scenes tutorial about what happens when a update notification occurs and what specific messages that may be found in the log files mean.
Granted the above is rather simple to figure out, and out of 100 users perhaps 2 will actually read the darn thing but if it lowers the number of these type of questions sent to the support teams email, or various support lists wouldn't it be worth it?
As I said just a thought.
Keep up the great work guys!!
