Some options were described in the section "Supported Options Reference" in the README, but were not described in the config files for the different distributions leading to users miss out on these options when they take the default config file as a guide for available options.
Before I had a look at this repository I didn't even know these options existed, because I assumed the config file is "feature-complete". It wasn't, but I think it should be.
It came to my attention, because my mail provider does not consider "root" as a valid "From" field and therefore I never received a mail on upgrades. But of course I did not know that "root" was the default because the option
Unattended-Upgrade::Sender
was missing in my config file (ubuntu).Btw the option
Unattended-Upgrade::MailReport
was missing on my Ubuntu machine, instead I had the legacy optionUnattended-Upgrade::MailOnlyOnError
, even thoughMailReport
is included in the config files in this repository and also handled by the version of/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade
on my machine (Ubuntu 20.04.3). Is that justapt
being a bit behind?
