Preferences should allow for custom "check for updates" frequency

[Jon Charge]

Binary package hint: update-notifier

The minimum frequency is one day. Can we patch for hourly or custom time?

Suggest wishlist importance.

Thanks,
Jon

Marking as wishlist. I will look into pushing this upstream to gnome ASAP.

MVO notified of this bug, he's upstream maintainer. marking as triaged

I would mark this as WontFix.
There's already cron-apt in Universe that does that.

I think Jon wanted it built into the update-notifier preferences/settings. MVO should take over from here. It's Triaged, marking as such.
