I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 + XBMC on a HTPC and now I want to setup automatic updates on this machine.
On top of the normal Ubuntu sources, I have also 3 other sources installed, of which I want to receive automatic updates:
1) The XBMC ppa (http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/)
2) The Steam source (http://repo.steampowered.com precise/steam
)
3) The Flirc source (http://apt.flirc.tv binary/
)
I have already read about the unattended-upgrades package, but I don't know how to modify this package to also download updates for XBMC, Steam & Flirc (I've read something about reading the lists file in /var/lib/apt/lists
, but unfortunately, I couldn't find Source
and Origin
defined in these lists).
Or is it better for me to go the cron
route for this?
echo PASSWORD | sudo -S apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
and then make a CRON job out of it. – amanthethy Jul 24 '14 at 21:08precise
, I think. – muru Jul 24 '14 at 21:10
