[Bug 1537793] Re: Autoupdate should be less frequent and more randomly distributed

 

Hello Bret, or anyone else affected,

Accepted snapd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/2.0.8 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Autoupdate should be less frequent and more randomly distributed

Status in Snappy:
  In Progress
Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in snapd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Currently the autoupdate timer (snappy/debian/snappy-autopilot.timer)
  is set to hourly with a 15 minute accuracy.

  As snappy will be included in 16.04 desktops (millions of them), this
  rate has the potential to seriously overload the Click Package Index
  service. I suggest changing this to 3 times per day, randomly
  distributed across 24hr on a per host basis so we don't get top-of-the
  hour thundering herds.

  Further rationale is to also avoid having updates downloaded by all
  hosts within the first hour of release, since gradual/staged updates
  are not implemented for snaps.
