cron-apt for Debian
-------------------

 Edit /etc/cron-apt/config
 and add rules to
 /etc/cron-apt/action.d

 You can also add extra configuration for each action (same syntax as
 /etc/cron-apt/config) by naming the file /etc/cron-apt/config.d/<actionname>.
 The configuration from one action is kept to the next action as well.

 The configuration in /etc/cron-apt/config (and config.d/<actionname> consist
 of a couple of variables that you can set. They are documented in the config
 file itself. The configuration files will always allow any POSIX /bin/sh
 compatible syntax so you can use them for hooks and simlar things as well as
 simply setting variables.

 If you want this tool to be run even if you do not have it up at
 04 in the morning you can create a symbolic link from /etc/cron.daily/cron-apt
 to /usr/sbin/cron-apt. It will then be run every day (even if the computer is
 not on at that time). Similar things can be done for each week, and so on.

  ln -s /usr/sbin/cron-apt /etc/cron.daily/cron-apt

 Observe that it is not always a good thing to update package information
 and download files when the computer is started. This is especially true
 if you do not have a good Internet connection.

 You also need to disable the normal cron.d/cron-apt file if you do not want
 it to be run twice.

Alternate sources.list file
---------------------------

If you just want to update security related things you can always use an
alternate sources.list files by giving this extra information to the OPTIONS
variable in the configuration file.

 OPTIONS="-q -o Dir::Etc::SourceList=/etc/apt/security.sources.list"
