The snap-related feature is already implemented, and other issues concerning the settings GUI are tracked here, so I think this is the appropriate place for it.
Currently, my design for the update settings starts with a line of static text: Snap packages check for updates four times daily, downloading automatically. For other packages… There I’m trying to convey that the “Check for updates automatically:” menu below applies to other packages, not snaps. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#settings> I intended that eventually, that line of text would become interactive — perhaps a menu, followed by another menu or timepickers depending on the setting, for example: Snap packages check for updates: [Every day:^] [4 times daily :^] Snap packages check for updates: [Weekdays :^] [between :^] [18:15] and [19:00] Snap packages check for updates: [Custom schedule (“fri5,23:00-01:00”) :^] (It’s unfortunate that we need separate settings GUI for snap and deb updates at all — mainly because snap updates are fully automatic, while prompting for deb updates that often would be unpleasant. Perhaps we can combine *some* of the settings in future. But since snaps and debs have independent configuration under the hood, we’d still need to deal with cases where their equivalent settings are currently set to different values.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770961 Title: Add options to set the snappy refresh schedule Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Snappy has a feature where the user can state when in a month to refresh (update) their snaps.
