This version replaces the original apticron. It's purpose is to encrypt the outgoing emails using gpg before sending them. Forked from https://salsa.debian.org/debian/apticron.git.
On the origin of the idea for this project: Intercepting emails send by apticron would possibly provide very valuable information for an attacker of a system.
Since she/he would then know which packages on that system do need a (security) update.
It is recommended that you first install the apticron version provided by your distribution.
This will initially prompt you to configure apticron like you need it.
Afterwards use the ./install script of this repository to replace the original apticron version with this one.
This version automatically will identify the public key to be used for encrypting by the email address given in the standard apticron.conf. The root user of your system needs to know that public key, if apticron is executed by the system (as usual).
And official debian feature/bug request was initiated for this feature to be included. You can see it's state here.
Feel free to open an issue if you have questions or want changes to this version.
apticron and apticron.conf are based on the debian source of the respective files.
Therefore the original debian ./COPYRIGHT file is included in this project. All other files a written by the author and are licensed under the
