Welcome to the Auter wiki!

Auter provides a flexible, host-based, solution for updating system packages via the distributions default package manager. It is possible to configure independent configuration profiles that can be run individually either manually on the command line, or scheduled using cron jobs. This would allow weekly updates to take place without a reboot, and a monthly patching schedule for the kernel and other core services that require a reboot.

Auter is also capable of caching available updates, and subsequently only installing from the cache. This allows package versions to be synchronized across environments that have different installation dates.
