Not necessarily. urpmi.update needs an '--update' flag. I don't think I
need to update my plf and jpackage hdlists to do updates ... since
'urpmi --update' won't use them anyway.
And, unfortunately, one of the updates (python) for some reason required
a package from main that wasn't in updates (libdb1?), so
'urpmi --update --auto-select --auto'
failed.
Anyway, the final script should be something like this:
#!/bin/bash
# Check for CVS
if [ -e /etc/CVS ]; then
(cd /etc/
echo "Automatic commit before updates on `date +%Y%m%d`"|cvs commit
)
fi
# This one needs a new flag for urpmi.update
urpmi.update --update 2>> /var/log/updates
urpmi --auto-select --auto>> /var/log/updates
Of course, at present, a cooker box needs '--no-verify-rpm' to update
since contrib has no gpg sigs. This is what has been running for about
two weeks on my cooker box:
#!/bin/sh
unset ftp_proxy
unset http_proxy
urpmi.update ftp1 ftp2 2>> /var/log/updates
urpmi --auto-select --auto --no-verify-rpm >> /var/log/updates
