It's done and didn't change anything, but I think I finally know why : running apt list --upgradable reveals the one outdated package is xdg-desktop-portal, which I used apt-mark hold on because of an issue preventing screen capture/sharing from working that affects even the latest version.

What to do ?

Thanks

On attend le post maintenant xD

Willing to give this a go.

Alright, don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any and request help if you need any

My go-to for getting non-repo debs automatically has been deb-get

Yes, I mentioned it in the Differences with deb-get & AM section of my tutorial.

it seems to go long periods of time between PR merges and releases (which includes adding new software)

Yeah, I could reiterate in that section that my app allows the user to add apps themselves.

It doesn't, that's provided by Cortile.

My main use case is end user desktops.

Thanks !

Yeah, I don't have the skill for this. I'd be very happy if someone else would make this, but if not then I'm sticking to HTTP.

In an APT package OMG 😂

I found an online version though, which I would never have found through my search engine (and on a site that doesn't even support HTTPS) 😅

Looks like difficult reading too 😭

Thanks anyway.

Sorry to ask

Don't be. I would love to know that an existing and more experienced program does what mine does.

I've been looking for it myself for a long time before deciding to build it.

isn’t this basically the same thing as apt-cacher-ng?

Here's what I'm reading :

Apt-Cache-ng is A caching proxy. Specialized for package files from Linux distributors, primarily for Debian (and Debian based) distributions but not limited to those.

A caching proxy have the following benefits:

• Lower latency
• Reduce WAN traffic
• Higher speed for cached contents

+------------+         +------------+        +------------+
| Apt Client |  <------+ Apt Cache  | <------+ Apt Mirror |
+------------+         +------------+        +------------+

So, not the same thing.

It locally mirrors existing repositories containing existing packages, it doesn't locally create a new repository for new packages from standalone DEBs.

I don't know anything about RPMs, but if you or anyone is familiar with it then perhaps !

local repo with file:// scheme

With that, I couldn't trigger a download when apt update is ran, I could only do a cron, i.e. a delay, that I do not want.

custom apt-transport

I thought about that, but found no documentation on how to do it. If you have any, I'm interested.

Even just finding documentation on how to generate DEBs and APT repository metadata files was very hard.

Thank you for your appreciation !

Yes

Could you please elaborate on that ? Thanks

Yes but APT packages are the ones requiring the password. Thanks

Voici une proposition : je le fais pour toi, uniquement au prix d'un aller-retour de colis.

Pourquoi ? Qu'est-ce que j'y gagne ? — Je considère que faire en sorte d'avoir un téléphone googlisé de moins dans la nature, c'est faire une différence significative, autant qu'un PC microsoftisé de moins dans la nature.

Et quand celui-ci sera mort, comme déjà suggéré par d'autres : achètes un téléphone directement sous ROM custom.

En revanche :

Ce n'est pas que tu n'as plus le temps, mais que tu ne prends plus le temps. Oui tes priorités actuelles sont légitimes, mais le fait est que tu les a choisies.

Although off-topic, I'm already using it, but part-time because of the inability to :

• use threads ;
• list unjoined space rooms ;
• jump to a message search result ;
• make the taskbar unread indicator disappear.

Well, that's something ! Thanks
