Most common usage is:
$ sa-update
Or, if you want to see what it's doing:
$ sa-update -D
Unless you are adding extra channels or doing something strange with it,
you shouldn't need more than that.
OK, got all those RTFM answers :-) - I get that...
But when was this introduced and what is it for and what is a channel? I
use rulesdejur is this a replacement for that or is it specificly to
update the SA rules so we don't have to update the whole package all the
time. The man does not answer these questions. I'm just trying to
understand what it is all about.
Thanks.
Despite the controversy that this seems to have set off... Could someone -
anyone - please direct me to someplace that I can read up on my
questions... They remain un-answered and the man page simply is a terse
usage explanation. I would like to read up on the principle and purpose.
Perhaps this is what you're looking for:
