apticron for Debian
-------------------
apticron gives you an easy way to have upgrade notifications of your system by
email.
apticron has the capability to:
* send daily emails about pending upgrades in your system;
* give you the choice of receiving only those upgrades not previously notified;
* automatically integrate to apt-listchanges in order to give you by email the
new changes of the pending upgrade packages;
* handle and warn you about packages put on hold via aptitude/dselect,
avoiding unexpected package upgrades (see #137771);
* give you all these stuff in a simple default installation;
You can configure the e-mail address apticron will use for mailing changes
to and other software options from /etc/apticron/apticron.conf.
Actually, apticron performs something you can partially do via cron script
provided either by the apt package itself or by the apt-cron package. I
suggest you to check the cron script located in /etc/cron.daily/apt first. For
a more complex setup, go to cron-apt package.
