2020-09-28Added improved auto-update support. (#9966)Austin S. Hemmelgarn
* Add systemd timer unit to handle auto updates. This adds a systemd timer unit and associated service for running the updaterscript. This allows better support for auto-updates on systems that use systemd, removing the need for cron or special shims to handle periodic tasks. This will be used in preference to our existing auto-update support on systems running systemd unless the user overrides this behavior. * Add an option to the installer to override auto-updater type detection. This allows users to specify what auto-updater scheduling mechanism to use. This wil persist the selection to updates as well. Supported values are: * systemd': Uses a systemd timer unit and service to handle automatic updates. * 'interval': Uses a script in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/periodic/daily. * `crontab`: Uses a crontab file in /etc/cron.d. * Change priority of systemd support. This way existing users won't get converted, and by default you'll still get emails on failures. * Case-normalize the value passed to --auto-update-type. * Fix incorrect naming of crontab file. * Fixed function naming.
