<poolie> also, could we get them to run every 24h or so?
<vila> poolie: what would be the point ? 
<vila> if we want to automate, I can look into checking the package version
<poolie> well, it means there's a fair chance there will be something up to date when i go to look at it
<poolie> rather than there being a guarantee i need to ask for a new build
<poolie> also, it's probably easier than scripting it?
<vila> hmm
<vila> right, let's start with every 24h

it overrides for now, the plan is to get closer to a really fresh
install when time permits or it becomes necessary.

I trust apt there do you have a specific case in mind that apt won't
cover ?
