Apt 0.6.46.4ubuntu7 (Feisty) man pages do not document APT::Periodic setting

[Scott Kitterman]

Binary package hint: apt

Settings for /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15adept-periodic-update should be documented in apt.conf(5).

There are currently no references that I could find in the apt man pages to the effects of changing the settings for the options listed there:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";

This blog posting:

http://www.toobusyto.org.uk/tooBusy/archives/2006/04/26/automatic-apt-ing-in-debian/

was the only reference I could find to settings for APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages

Based on that, the first two items are booleans and the third is the interval in days. apt.conf(5) should say that.

Thanks for your bugreport.

Help with adding the documentation would be greatly appreciated :)

Cheers,

If someone would provide a pointer which man page it should go in, I will provide a patch.

Or rather which section of apt.conf(5). Sorry for the bugmail spam.
