auto-patch 1.3.0

Automatically install security and other system updates

Automatically install security and other system updates

This package provides a script to call zypper to install security and other system updates. It also provides systemd unit files to automatically call that script regularly.

Since the script depends on zypper, it will probably only work for SUSE distributions (openSUSE and SLES).

System requirements

Python:

• Python 3.6 or newer.

External programs:

• zypper

Required library packages:

• setuptools

• packaging

• python-systemd

  Note: it is recommended to install this from the package repository of your Linux distribution, e.g. on openSUSE and SLE, run something like zypper install python3-systemd. If you need to install it from PyPI, please note that the package name there is systemd-python.

Optional library packages:

• git-props

  This package is used to extract some metadata such as the version number out of git, the version control system. All releases embed that metadata in the distribution. So this package is only needed to build out of the plain development source tree as cloned from GitHub, but not to build a release distribution.

• pytest >= 3.0

  Only needed to run the test suite.

• distutils-pytest

  Only needed to run the test suite.
