Customize OTA update behavior

[vix]

@jeremias.tx

Now, with everything said, like I said at the start the current feedback and control a user has over Aktualizr and it’s actions is very limited. That said, we are currently planning a new feature for Aktualizr that will allow for increased feedback and control. This would allow users to send “commands” to Aktualizr via a mechanism (i.e. dbus) and get feedback from the client. That said this feature is still very early in the development stage so there’s not too many concrete details to share yet.

I see that you mentioned this feature in other topics on this community (here and here).
What you described is basically what I need.
I add only a couple of things, in case you don’t have it in your mind: 2. 3. 4.

• if aktualizr reports that an update is available, the user has three options:

  1. Update now - this will start the update
  2. Remind me later - aktualizr will report again this update available after some time (1 day?, customizable?)
  3. Dismiss - aktualizr will report only if a different update is available

Both in cases 1 and 2 a manual command “search for update now” should be available.

@jeremias.tx I hope that this clarifies my usage scenario (real application).
