PI updates

[mmkw43]

Haven't really looked into this and sort of pressed for time today, so would like to ask --

What is the story behind the PI updating (automatically?). I'm assuming it does if it's has an internet connection 24/7? Not?

I want to shut of any automatic updating -- the concern being, what if it updates python to a new version number? If I have a script with a shebang line that is tied my current version that's a problem. (I think it did that previously, can't remember).

-- thank you

There is no automatic updating.

If you want to update raspbian, or most linux distributions, you need to do manually. For example:

Code: Select all

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade

or whatever the GUI equivalent is.

No, Raspbian will not update itself automatically. And Python is not likely to change anytime soon.

If you haven't installed any auto-updaters the Pi won't auto-update.

The default is for updates to be done manually.
