Waiting for the nitra code to become public.

Where is 'Nitra Updating system' information?

Targeting to M2 since another bug for M2 depends on this.

So?
Comment 7 Richard Purdie 2013-06-12 12:11:07 UTC 
It was renamed to be part of Fenrus, e.g. http://git.fenrus.org/git/?p=projects/fenrus-update-server.git;a=summary

Saul, please close this one as a duplicate of
Comment 9 Saul Wold 2013-11-01 14:47:00 UTC 
There is a possibility of a community group providing source for an image updater, which will be evaluated and tested. 

Moving from High to M+ until we have a more solid direction for this.

The git URL is no longer working.

News on this?

It was assigned to me, I guess that's some news.

Comment 15 Richard Purdie 2019-04-04 15:21:52 UTC 
This has changed direction several times. If we have a decent proposal of what we should do lets consider that as a specific proposal and close this randomly changing direction bug.
