I'm sorry, that was an unlucky typo on my side. I meant: "No bugs encountered."

Is everyone happy not?

0.15.2 on MX-23.3_ahs_x64 works perfect,
without typos ;-)

No problems with 0.15.4 but I have a question about the conf file.

Since this option updates the package list automatically when the upgrade command is run

Code: Select all

# Set to false to disable auto updating the package list
# when running the upgrade command
auto_update = true

If we set this option to true, will that be the same as typing upgrade --full?

Code: Select all

# Set to true to make full-upgrade the default
full_upgrade = false

On CLi, yes.
With MX-Updater: No

OK, thanks. I do use nala in the terminal on my fluxbox install and MX-Updater on my XFCE VM.

[asqwerth]

On CLi, yes.
With MX-Updater: No

@fehlix , is that because MX-Updater's full upgrade or non-full upgrade choices are set out in the $HOME/.config//MX-Linux/apt-notifier.conf file as well as in MX-Updater's GUI preferences?

If my config file is:

Code: Select all

# Use alternative apt/apt-get command line package manager
use_nala = true

and my upgrade preference is:

will that automatically make any MX-Updater upgrade via nala a full upgrade?
