Hi Adeodato, > I think a debconf prompt to ask whether to enable a cron script > is an overkill.
I think that the debconf question is useful since it enables, in my opinion, a useful feature that a lot of people would otherwise not bother reading about in the documentation. > If you want debsums to ship a cron script, I think it should, if at all: > > (a) be weekly (at most), or monthly > (b) be daily, but disabled by default from /etc/default/debsums I guess it comes down to the two things that debsums can warn you about: (1) broken package (2) compromised package In the case of (1), then I agree, weekly or monthly is more reasonable (or possibly less even). However in the second case, I actually want to know straight away if a binary changes on my system. So I think that it's much more useful to do it every day in that case. Now I would expect that people concerned with (1) would not run the cronjob and people concerned with (2) would want to run it every day.
