DC update available message

A side-note on the same Update-DC topic.

Can you provide an indication, on the Dashboard, or as part of the Software Center that this update is available, because it isn’t obvious, and if you never go to the Accounts provider page (why would you again after initial install/configure) if would never be seen.

Cheers.

That’s the point! As you’ve seen in the other thread (accessing samba share) upstream defaults can change between updates. Upgrading samba DC could bring security fixes but disable some features. Thus an explicit “expert” admin operation is required, after gathering background info and testing in a separate environment.

Having such message in the dashboard encourages blind update, it’s not safe in this situation IMO.
