Interesting discussion. I agree with the original bug report for the reason of bandwidth and possible hardware breakage. I hate really old bugs like this which just sit here, so how about I make this into a more concrete suggestion:
* Update Manager needs a new section with the function of holding 'Deselected Updates' * When run, Update Manager should present the section of previously deselected updates at the end of the list * Previously deselected updates should remain deselected but selectable * A newer version of a previously deselected package should show up as a new preselected update * When a newer update is available any entries for deselected versions of the same software should be removed from Update Manager's list What do you good people think of that proposal? Does it meet the various goals? What do we do about making sure users are aware of the security issues? Is this a workaround for some other problem... like a better way to distribute security updates to low-bandwidth systems? ** Tags added: ui -- Software Updates - deselected items don't go away https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
