Sorry Hendrik, but instead of citing an anonymous post on an unknown blog with rants about Debian and other Debian derivatives (among a lot of other unrelated things), have you actually seen unattended-upgrades installed "automatically and by default" in any Devuan installation? I am asking because I can safely say I have installed Devuan literally hundreds of times (Jessie, Ascii, Beowulf, and Ceres), and in no occasion was unattended-upgrades installed by default, on any install path, or brought in as a Depends or as a Recommends. I am also maintaining `tasksel` in Devuan, and I cannot see any installation selection that would bring in unattended-upgrades by default.[*] Could everybody please report immediately on any such case, if it happened, so that we can track the problem down (I mean, a new Devuan install where unattended-upgrades is silently installed and automatically enabled)? We should try to solve the problems we have, not the problems we might have had if we were using another distribution at another time... :\ HND KatolaZ [*] AFAIK, there is no way to have unattended-upgrades installed by default in Debian either, but I am not 100% sure about that. -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - Devuan -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
