@xnox: Totally agreed on https. I just uploaded that fix to zesty, defaulting to https://motd.ubuntu.com (which exists now, it didn't at the time), and enforcing that all URLs should start with https://.
The .timer systemd unit + caching + periodic refresh is interesting, indeed. I'll look into a rewrite of update-motd to do it this way. What minimum version of systemd would I need for it to work this way? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637800 Title: add a motd script for news To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1637800/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
