Uploaded a test package to the following PPA which converts the two remaining cronjobs into systemd timers and tidies up a couple of other packaging bits:
https://launchpad.net/~waveform/+archive/ubuntu/update- notifier/+packages Needs testing to ensure that the upgrade actually removes the existing cronjobs (couple of new maintscript bits *should* take care of this), and that the timings are reasonable. In this version, only the motd timer has a calendar-based schedule (every Sunday, but smeared across 24h as requested). The package-data- downloader timer is started 5 minutes after system start, and then periodically each 24h after that, which roughly mimics what the old cronjob did under anacron (though there's also a dpkg trigger that may fire the task at arbitrary points too). I've added "After=" rules to both to try and ensure they're always scheduled after networking is available (using similar rules to the existing apt-daily timer), and service conditions which mimic the previous [ -x ] tests in the cronjobs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836475 Title: update-notifier-common weekly cron job runs at the same time for all computers across the globe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1836475/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
