Well I do have a Debian4 system handy. Debian has the cron jobs for apt scheduled in daily, but the default configuration (which is done in /etc/cron.daily/apt) has the auto(update/upgrade) options turned off. So it doesn't even update the package list, let alone the packages. > If so, the apt > package in Fedora just does what upstream (Debian) does, and we track > upstream closely, right? Well of course we are :) But this doesn't make sense in this case cause upstream of apt (Debian) has nothing to do with Fedora or even rpms > > The setting in /etc/sysconfig/apt would be something simple to carry a > separate patch for though. I'll shut up now. :) and it [upstream] has nothing to do with /etc/sysconfig/apt cause there is no sysconfig in Debian. So /etc/sysconfig/apt isn't a file which should be PATCHED. It's just a distro-specific configuration file which should be MODIFIED. > > /Anders > > -- > fedora-devel-list mailing list > fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list > Regards Suren -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
