Package: cron-apt Severity: normal APT already provides a carefully planned cron job and systemd timers that do careful things like spreading updates around the entire day, not blocking cron jobs by sleeping (if using systemd) and perform unattended upgrades using unattended-upgrades. This is used by default in all Ubuntu installations.
It would be better to work on the apt one together instead of having two cron jobs that each have their own shortcomings (maybe we can add some hooks to the apt cron job / systemd timers?). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (100, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.10.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- Debian Developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev | Ubuntu Core Developer | When replying, only quote what is necessary, and write each reply directly below the part(s) it pertains to ('inline').
