2017-05-05Split apt-daily timer into twoJulian Andres Klode
The timer doing downloading runs throughout the day, whereas automatic upgrade and clean actions only happen in the morning. The upgrade service and timer have After= ordering requirements on their non-upgrade counterparts to ensure that upgrading at boot takes place after downloading. LP: #1686470 (cherry picked from commit 496313fb8e83af2ba71f6ce3d729be687c293dfd)
2016-06-27Use the ConditionACPower feature of systemd in the apt-daily serviceNicolas Le Cam
.. instead of hardcoding the functionnality in the apt.systemd.daily script. Also make the compatibility cron job provide the same functionnality for systems that do not use systemd. Closes: #827930
2016-04-01Use systemd.timer instead of a cron jobMichael Vogt
The rational is that we need to spread the load on the mirrors that apt update and unattended-upgrades cause. To do so, we leverage the RandomizeDelay feature of systemd. The other advantage is that the timer is not run at a fixed daily.daily time but instead every 24h. This also fixes the problem that the randomized deplay in the current apt.cron.daily causes other cron jobs to be deplayed. A compatibility cron job is also provided for systems that do not use systemd. Note that the time is fired two times a day, but the logic inside of apt.systemd.daily will ensure (via stamp files) that the servers are hit at most every 24h. Firing two times a day helps with the worst case update time and it also helps with systems that are not always on. LP: #246381, #727685 Closes: #600262, #709675, #663290
