No updates for a while on my OSMC installs

[nirvana80]

Hi there,

I don’t seem to be be gettting updates for a while now, I’m wondering if something is up with my updates.

I just ran a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and it did find a few generic linux updates which I installed that way but OSMC didn’t find them.
Is it supposed to be installing generic linux packages? I’m pretty sure it used to in the past.

Any help or clarification on why not getting updates for a while is appreciated. I used to get them fairly regularly. I understand that we are on the final release and maybe we get less then we used to under RC3.

Thanks

OSMC updates explained

Originally published at: OSMC updates explained - OSMC Hi, Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, you’ll probably be aware that OSMC is out of beta and has now achieved its stable release. We’d like to take some time to explain how updates will be delivered to you and how they work. During the development of OSMC, we would release updates as…

Thanks.

Am I correct by saying, packages and tools I install which are not OSMC related would not be upgraded by osmc upgrade auto or manual update.

I just need to do that manually running sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade am I right in saying that.

Like for example you have bind, or mysql installed, OSMC won’t update those additional packages as are not strictly related to kodi or OSMC, am I wrong?.

I ask that because on screen update provided me with no updates today, but the two commands above updated several packages.

No

Those updates will be installed via OSMC, but only if an OSMC update is available as well or it is a security update. We only want people’s systems to upgrade once a month.

Thanks Sam, that cleared it all up now for me.
