Checking for whether an update is available is a complicated, multi-step process. For example, there are potentially 4 gpg keyring files that must be present, but only one that is shipped with the image, so the "check for update available" process must be able to backtrack and download any missing keys. It's surprisingly complicated! The biggest challenge with adding a stop method during update available checks is that all the various combinations and backtracking must be tested, so that's a lot of additionally complicated test code to add. It's not insurmountable -- I just have to find the cycles to tackle it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272313 Title: There is no way to stop a check for update for ubuntu images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-image/+bug/1272313/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
