Disabling automatic updates coming to Snap packages |
 |
People who run the Ubuntu distribution, along with other Linux distributions which run Snap packages, will soon gain the ability to disable automatic updates to Snap software. Up to this point, Snap packages have been subject to automatic updates, whether users wanted them or not. Now it will be possible to turn off automated updates to either all packages or just specific packages. Merlijn Sebrechts writes: "This might sound like an obvious feature to many people, but it's a continental shift in philosophy for the Snap developers. Snaps allow users to easily install Linux applications. By default, snaps automatically update to the newest version. Snapd, the service that manages snaps, checks for updates four times in a day. Although there are many ways to control when and how often updates are installed, it was not possible to completely turn off automatic updates." |
