Feature request: -Y option to force update if any available #181

Closed Ruffio closed 9 years ago

Ruffio commented 9 years ago

I'm building a web interface to control the RPi and it would be nice if there could be added a -y option, so if there are any updates available, the update is performed automatically.

I have tried various options but cant find options or man pages that can tell me if such an option exists.

I also very much want this ability. I want to be able to execute this program under automated workflows. Forcing user interfaction will break such tool (tsshbatch, capistrano, ansible, rundeck ...)

It seems that doing this first, gives desired behavior:

export SKIP_WARNING=1

Is this a new feature or was it there and I just missed it in the doc somehow?

Ruffio commented 9 years ago

How exactly do you do this? The other options are set like: sudo XXXX rpi-update

popcornmix commented 9 years ago

sudo SKIP_WARNING=1 rpi-update would also work (they both just set a env variable).

Thanks, this works perfectly :-)

It should be documented so no one is in doubt.
