Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 0.75.1 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if it was possible to configure unattended-upgrades to install the updates during shutdown. The idea is that you don't want updates to be automatically installed while the user is using his machine but you still want to ensure that the updates get regularly installed.
Doing it during startup is difficult because you really want to start fast and you're likely to have concurrency problems if some services are started while an upgrade is running... thus I believe that doing it at shutdown is the least disruptive time. For even less disruption, it could install the upgrades only if they were already downloaded by a former call. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages unattended-upgrades depends on: ii apt 0.8.15.9 ii apt-utils 0.8.15.9 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii lsb-release 3.2-28 ii python 2.7.2-9 ii python-apt 0.8.3 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 unattended-upgrades recommends no packages.
