Hi,
Sorry for sending mail text before proofing.
This is what it should have been:
Please note, APT package since 0.5.28 Ubuntu hoary and 0.5.29 Debian
unstable (Sat, 13 Nov 2004) has its own script /etc/cron.daily/apt,
which can do:
* fancy auto-clean with rule
* check and download upgradable packages automatically
* automatic unattended upgrade
+ need to install unattended-upgrades package
+ aimed for security upgrade and have its blacklist capability
+ mail capability (The extent of this, i do not know for sure?)
These can be enabled via apt configuration variables (usually stored in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02backup and 50unattended-upgrades).
Your cron-apt packagr can function without python since it is a shell
script but its capability is limited.
So, I think it is fair to document what is the actual added value of
this package somewhere like README so people understand why or why-not
to install this and what to do with this.
Osamu
