In Lenny, there is a package unattended-upgrades that will make sure apt upgrade packages automatically every night. Should we enable it by default for Squeeze?
This is done by running these commands on an existing installation aptitude install unattended-upgrades cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades-activate APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1"; EOF It will only upgrade packages from the Debian stable APT source by default, and avoid packages that might ask questions during the upgrade. We could provide a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ as part of the debian-edu-config package to enable it, and pull in the package using the common task. We could at least add it to the documentation for Lenny and Squeeze, to let admins know how to set it up on their own.
