- Unattended upgrades
- -------------------
-
- This script will install security upgrades automatically and
- unattended. It will not install packages that require dependencies
- that can't be fetched from security and it will check for conffile
- prompts before the install and holds back the package that creates
- them.
-
- By default it will only install only from the the (Ubuntu,
- dapper-security) repository. This can be changed with the
- "Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins" apt configuration list. It can
- be configured to allow any (origin, archive) combination. Those values
- are taken from the "Release" file on the archive server. It is
- recommended to use the default (only security updates from Ubuntu).
-
- All operations will be logged in /var/log/unattended-upgrades/. This
- includes the dpkg output as well.
-
- See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticUpdates for more details about
- this feature.
-
- The following configuration options are supported via the standard
- apt configuration:
- "APT::UnattendedUpgrades::LogDir"
- "APT::UnattendedUpgrades::LogFile"
- "Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins"
- "Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist"
- "Unattended-Upgrade::Mail"
- See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticUpdates for more details about
