Hi, I am new to the mailing list, I hope I am posting this to the right place :-). I have just thrown together https://github.com/ifad/zypper-cron, a tool inspired by Debian's apticron[1]. It runs zypper ref and zypper -x list-patches, parses the XML output and, if patches are missing, summarizes them on the standard output. I have packaged it here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:vjt:ifad/zypper-cron, upon installation it adds /etc/cron.d/zypper-cron that runs the script daily at 4AM. It'll certainly need saving its state to avoid duplicate e-mails about updates already notified, and as well incremental mailings. I am not aware on any other similar open source effort, so I decided to scratch my own itch. Comments (and GitHub pull requests) appreciated! ~Marcello [1]: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/apticron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
