2016-08-31Use 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 (cherry picked from commit 51d659e7d8cdce59f910eceeee68e2c2afdb70d4)
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
