UPDATE-PRI...TE-NONFREE(8)

💖 UPDATE-PRI...TE-NONFREE(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to section 8 of the System Manager's Manual, the zone where the system admin girlies live. this whole page is about one very specific little program called update-primesense-nite-nonfree, and yes the name is a mouthful, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

update-primesense-nite-nonfree — it's literally the program that goes and fetches the newest PrimeSense NITE module for you. that's the whole job. that's the gig. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

update-primesense-nite-nonfree --install
update-primesense-nite-nonfree --uninstall

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea. update-primesense-nite-nonfree has a LOT going on and honestly it's giving main character energy. let me break it down 💅

it takes care of downloading last minute information from Debian about which versions are suitable. then, depending on what it finds:

• if the PrimeSense NITE module you've got installed has been reported as insecure, it removes it. bye bestie, you're a security risk 😭
• or, if a newer suitable version is available, it downloads a newer PrimeSense NITE modules and its installer straight from the PrimeSense download site, then creates a debian package from the downloaded package right there on the local system, so that the installation of the package will comply with the DFSG. we love a compliant queen ✨

important detail, don't skip this one: it won't install the generated package if the package isn't installed yet. but it will upgrade the package if the user already has a version installed. it's not a first-installer, it's an upgrader. iykyk.

a copy of the downloaded .tar.gz is saved in /var/cache/primesense-nite-nonfree for later reuse. we love a lil cache moment 🎀

and here's where you'll actually see it in the wild: update-primesense-nite-nonfree is used in the postinst and prerm scripts of the primesense-nite-nonfrewe Debian package. but ngl, this program can also be run manually by root. just saying. 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --install — to install, update or remove PrimeSense NITE modules depending on the downloaded last minute information from Debian about suitable versions. it reads the vibes (from Debian) and then does the thing 🫶
• --uninstall — to remove PrimeSense NITE. that's it. that's the option. it's leaving. periodt. 💀
• --verbose — produce detailed information about what's happening. if you're nosy (affectionate) this is your moment, it tells you everything 👀
• --quiet — produce no informational output. silence. serene. the introvert option 🌙
