+Title: Package Update Policy
+date: 2025-03-02
+
+ARMLFS generally avoids updates, unless deemed necessary.  
+I'll only ship tested updates to the "production" configuration
+images. All the downloads (available on this server host) are
+production configuration.
+
+Things that do have a cronjob building updates:
+
+- The kernel
+- Firefox
+- KiCad
+- yt-dlp
+
+As outlined above, the automated build process results
+are not shipped to anyone but me (unless you're really sneaky, in that case, you're on your own.)
+before I get to testing them and publish them.  
+I give zero promises about how often that might be.
+
+Publishing to the production feeds needs a password-protected asignify key, so it
+purposefully cannot be automated.  
+The server in the "idle" state does not have the key in unencrypted format.
