I know at least one person who have an automated/cron-jobbed upgrade |
37 |
system, and I believe it would be useful as an extra application of |
38 |
ACCEPT_RESTRICT for them to auto-accept upgrades which can be done |
39 |
without breaking things without user interaction, and then |
40 |
occasionally have them doing a manual emerge run with ACCEPT_RESTRICT |
41 |
including the interactive requests to do the items which need their |
42 |
presence. |
43 |
|
44 |
My 2 cents. |
