apticron (1.1.51) unstable; urgency=low New config option CUSTOM_FROM allows setting a custom sender by replacing the default 'From:' field in the notification emails. -- Tiago Bortoletto Vaz Mon, 29 Aug 2011 00:00:23 -0300 apticron (1.1.40) unstable; urgency=low New config option added: NOTIFY_NEW.# Set NOTIFY_NEW="0" if you don't want to be notified about packages which are not installed in your system. Yes, it's possible! There are some issues related to systems which have mixed stable/unstable sources. In these cases apt-get will consider for example that packages with "Priority: required"/"Essential: yes" in unstable but not in stable should be installed, so they will be listed in dist-upgrade output. Please take a look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531002#44 -- Tiago Bortoletto Vaz Sat, 15 May 2010 01:57:05 +0000 apticron (1.1.32) unstable; urgency=low New config option added: NOTIFY_HOLDS. This determines whether apticron will download/list packages on hold or not. The default behavior is notifying these packages. If you don't want to be mailed about new versions of packages on hold in your system, please set NOTIFY_HOLDS="0" in your apticron config file. -- Tiago Bortoletto Vaz Tue, 26 May 2009 16:40:56 -0300 apticron (1.1.21) unstable; urgency=low This release introduces a new option (--cron) and a cron.d snippet to run apticron once a day at a time randomly generated during postinst. The cron.daily script still remains mainly for those systems that aren't up 24h a day. Note however that the random sleep has been removed, so not to delay execution of following jobs. If you wish, you can modify the time in the cron.d file, but be advised that the first execution could be triggered by the cron.daily script (as also the first execution after the installation of this release). Subsequent runs should go fine. Note however that execution time has been randomized in order not to DOS Debian servers, so please don't modify it unless strongly needed. -- Gian Piero Carrubba Sun, 18 Nov 2007 16:07:32 +0100
