Dear all,
I'd like to have all installed packages on my debian squeeze systems upgraded automatically whenever newer versions are available. For this, I utilize apt's 'unattended-upgrade' functionality and the corresponding package 'unattended- upgrades' (http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/unattended-upgrades). For most included apt sources this works flawlessly. However, I didn't manage yet to have 'unattended-upgrades' also pick up changes of X2Go packages. In the configuration file for 'unattended-upgrades' ('/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades') one has to identify 'Allowed- Origins' by an (origin, archive) duple (according to the comment):
----- /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades ----- // Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin, archive) pairs Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins { "${distro_id} stable"; "${distro_id} ${distro_codename}-security"; "X2Go stable"; }; [...] ----- /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades -----
For other sources I use field 'Origin:' from the Release file as 'origin', and filed 'Suite:' as 'archive'. Unfortunately, the X2Go Release file <http://packages.x2go.org/debian/dists/squeeze/InRelease> does not have a 'Suite:' field. I tried 'stable' (as shown above), 'squeeze' and '${distro_codename}', but none matches.
In <http://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat#A.22Release.22_files> I found this remark: "These fields are optional. They may be displayed to the user by package management tool or used for pinning. It is suggested that any repository published for other users to use fills meaningful information in these fields so that the user can tell apart different repositories.
Description
Origin
Label
Version
Suite
Codename"Would it be possible to add the 'Suite:' field to X2Go's Release files? Or does anyone know how to make 'unattended-upgrades' taking X2Go into account?
Thanks for any response in advance,
Holger
