Subject: Lazy users and updates
Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2019 13:29:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <v3kRA08AAdmsZ9LmEStyAJQKFB9z0IqZJWSWsZYfX7x52sQHBIJH55ipOkwlQlWuaE0-N6wwrAZ8JLoopOIOdOkxtL8wvLxT8udKz8vaE1U=@protonmail.com> (raw)
Given the user-centric approach of Guix, it feels like it should be up to individual users of a shared system to deal with installations and the system updates. But, what to do when they are lazy, or too novice for fiddling with the command line?
Do I use the admin's prerogative and set their own crontabs to pull and "package -u" once in a while? I feel like this is overriding their free will for their own good.
Note that the question is ethical, as much as technical :)
