This is what good distros do, well some of them, I don't think low touch repos like AUR/Homebrew/PPA's would catch this, but I doubt huntarr will ever make it to Debian.

Ofc the trend of running upstream unverted containers undermines this.

I would love to see alternatives/replacements to them that are less opinionated. If you aren't ready to consign your entire library to destructive edits and file replacements then it really is hard to fit any arr program into your workflow. Because I have a few files I want to keep pristine and a few opinions on what gets downloaded, I've hit a snag every time I try to set up any arr program. Lidarr, for example, simply refuses to allow a root dir to be read only. I still have yet to get any up and running.

I guess I've never had the need to force a refresh after a format modification.

My point was that the frequency of updates doesn’t correlate with quality at all

They banned the user that did the robust cybersecurity audit. They banned everyone who pointed it out or linked to the post or mentioned it. They took the subreddit private. The clown dev has a donate feature and claims that it will be used to put his daughter through school. Just scum all around.

Personally I prefer my software to give me options, I hate when stuff like this is picked for me when equally valid options exist
