Hi
I have a fresh headless Trixie I let run on its own (I seldom connect to it, maybe once or twice a year just to check everything is still OK), and yet I notice I'm notified for available updates to install. Please what is the mechanism here behind?
I'm concerned with auto-update of a package I added from an external repository.
Is it embedded with autoupdates? It has it's own .list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Erstwhile in the days when we had to use fake-clock I used to have a job in anacrontabIs it still the recommanded automation way or classic cron would now work as I also noticed I have the the Trixie time/date OK out of the Pi Imager box? Or maybe a tweak of the underlying auto update mechanism ?
Thank you for lights
[EDIT]... hmmm, let's read Thagrol's boot.pdf.zip in the meantime
