Bug Description

I want security updates to be checked for daily, and installed automatically, but I only want to be notified of Recommended Updates once a week. In Software Sources > Updates I have to pick every day, or every week - it doesn't let me make this distinction.

Thanks for your input. I believe this is a feature request for update-manager, not a bug for software-properties-gtk. I've set the package hint to update-manager. The importance should be set to wishlist.

Meanwhile you can put the following script in /etc/cron.daily to automatically check for and install most upgrades:

#!/bin/bash
aptitude -y update && aptitude -y safe-upgrade

Oscar: As discussed on #ubuntu-bugs, I'm going to re-assign this to both software-properties and update-notifier.

Thanks
