Debian Update Notifier

Update Notifier is a simple and easy-to-use application that uses chronjobs for scheduling package updates. It pipes a password stored in memory to sudo subprocesses and stores no passwords in any plain text files.

Requirements

PySide2, trio, and sudo.

pip3 install PySide2 trio

$ apt install sudo

Install

./ChronInstall.sh [n]

Sets the chronjob to run the update.py script at the current location every n days. The default is 30 if nothing is entered. The update script can also be run manually.

TODO

• Handle subprocess termination after cancel button is pressed
• Handle ctrl-c terminal press
• Handle Cancel and other errors
• Add chronjob install script
• Add icon
