Bug#921820: fwupd: provide a network service file
I think for some people downloading metadata automatically in a timer/cron type way, may be useful but I think it's missing the last piece of integration to notify folks; motd messaging to let people know updates are available. Would you please consider bringing this discussion upstream? I think this even makes sense outside of Debian and would like to see it implemented in a future fwupd release directly. > -Original Message- > From: Ritesh Raj Sarraf On Behalf Of Ritesh Raj Sarraf > Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2019 6:53 AM > To: Debian Bug Tracking System > Subject: Bug#921820: fwupd: provide a network service file > > > [EXTERNAL EMAIL] > > Package: fwupd > Version: 1.2.5-2 > Followup-For: Bug #921820 > > Hello Mario, > > You also need to acknowledge the fact that there are many more users beyond > the GNOME desktop.

Bug#921820: fwupd: provide a network service file
Per design this functionality exists in the frontend that runs as reduced privilege user. For example gnome-software which runs in a users session and regularly checks for apt metadata also will automatically check for firmware updates too.
