# This is a simple approach.  You could have a monthly Cron for stable and
# then update if any changes were observed, a weekly Cron for frozen, and
# a daily Cron for unstable.

# For this example a default of unstable is assumed.
# This downloads only one Contents-arch for the unstable distribution.
# Updates the Packages using apt, and grabs the Contents-arch and Packages
# for the stable distribution if there are any changes.
# Update the sources:
swim --ftp --Contents DF --onec >> /var/log/swim.log 2>&1;
swim --apt --update >> /var/log/swim.log 2>&1;
swim --ftp --dists stable --onec  >> /var/log/swim.log 2>&1;

# This will update the database for the default distribution/architecture
# using 'cron' to automatically pick the newest packages.
# Update the databases:
swim --db >> /var/log/swim.log 2>&1;
swim --ndb APT --cron --Contents DF >> /var/log/swim.log 2>&1;
