There are two options of which the first one is a downloa= der script which is called by systemd or cron on a regular basis, downloads t= he database, verifies it and done. The second option is to use the package updating mechanism of distributions, = i.e. sending a daily update of a package with the latest version of the datab= ase. That way, no extra configuration for systems behind a proxy and without = any access to the internet would be necessary. I personally do not think that any distribution would be able or willing to p= ush a daily package update regardless of its size. There is no precedent for = it in any distribution I know, but Peter was going to check with Debian if th= is is a possible path and report back. Best, -Michael --===============8941922335559471043==--
