Extra information or context

EDIT: The topgrade config file is now set correctly, but as the brew location is only in PATH for interactive shells, topgrade does not detect a brew installation when called from systemd.

Did you disable ublue-update.timer? Or is it that ublue-update doesn't have an update on the copr?

Ah. See that the copr is out of date.

When running the ujust update command, it does update "brew" packages, which made me realize that the ujust command and the ublue-update service execute "topgrade" with different config files.

Is this intended? I thought one is meant to be the manual updater in case automatic updates are disabled, but still both would do the same thing in the end.

[m2Giles]

Yes the service only updates a limited subset of items. We update automatically rpm-ostree, distroboxes, flatpaks, and brew (the last one was not due to copr needed a rebuild)

The manual method is supposed to update more. You additionally can tune the manual update to only update certain things.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I guess when brew gets enabled with the automatic updates those would do everything I need.

Hi,
I'm sorry that I have to reopen this, but it still doesn't work.
The topgrade config file is now set correctly, but as the brew location is only in PATH for interactive shells, topgrade does not detect a brew installation when called from systemd.

Okay, we'll need to update ublue-update then.

#1293

Implements systemd timers for auto updating and auto upgrading homebrew.

If the brew user is not UID 1000, you will need to override the service (that sounds like a just command).

This service runs at the system level but executes as the specified user.

It has been merged.
