https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D257247 Bug ID: 257247 Summary: freebsd-update / pkg: add automation, no questions, continue from interrupted state Product: Base System Version: 13.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: tomek@cedro.info Hello world :-) I was recently on extremely slow cellular connection with some old (laptop) machine with 12.0 that had to be upgraded to 13.0 before I could work on it. Unfortunately upgrade process was interrupted due poor internet connection.= I had to restart is manually over and over, several times per day, and finall= y I abandoned the process. What is even worse I had to press Y on "does this so= und reasonable" question. Is it possible to add -A (automation) option or something similar so: 1. the whole process does not ask questions. 2. the whole process restarts from where is was interrupted (i.e. connection broken). 3. I just get the information that download is completed and I can manually proceed. This option would be extremely helpful to both freebsd-update and pkg(-stat= ic) :-) Sure I need to maunally restart the machine, perform freebsd-update install, pkg-static update /upgrade, and again freebsd-update install. But the interrupted downloads seems to break whole process here and it would be rea= lly nice to have it "just do it for me even if there are connection problems" := -) Thank you for considering! :-) Tomek --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
