up2date yes, apt-get noup2date yes, apt-get noPosted Mar 23, 2006 18:49 UTC (Thu) by NAR (subscriber, #1313)In reply to: up2date yes, apt-get no by allesfresser Parent article: Apple patents automatic software updates the covered mechanism for user notification is only triggered when the user accesses the information for which an upgrade is available I don't know how up2date works but it seems that the apt-get cronjob isn't covered by this. This patent seems to cover the issue when a web browser notifies the user (upon stumbling over a page containing a flash animation) that a new flash plugin is available.
