FWIW, APT uses Binary::<name>::<foo>
options that it then moves into <foo>
to set different options for different binaries, which might be applicable here too. Though I don't think the move subtree function is exposed yet.
@julian-klode Interesting! In case of u-u would the <name>
be unattended-upgrade
or python3
?
@julian-klode Would you prefer u-u using and documenting the Binary::<name>
interface or have the separate config (dir)?
Hi, I have been looking for options on how to let update specific packages and I can't find anything. In my case, I want my servers to only update updates with the security label with the exception of cloud-init, qemu-agent,etc. which is with label updates. I have tried:
"origin=cloudinit";
but it keeps ignoring it. Is there any idea in the future to add package update exceptions ignoring allow pattern/origin policies?
There are some cases, such as #286 where it would be desired if unattended-upgrades would use a different APT configuration, than APT's command line interface. The proposed solution is reading config from
/etc/apt/unattended-upgrades.conf
and/etc/apt/unattended-upgrades.conf.d/
overriding values in/etc/apt/apt.conf{|.d}
.
