#56840 closed enhancement

iTerm2 built in updater should be disabled — at Version 4

Port: iTerm2

Description (last modified by markemer (Mark Anderson))

iTerm2's built in updater is active, and even defaults to check in its preferences. Since apps installed via MacPorts should really only be updated via MacPorts, this could result in inconsistencies if someone used the builtin updater; so it should be disabled and if possible, hidden.

In the future, please add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers iTerm2), if any.

Ok, so it seems like key below controls the sparkle updates. Setting it to 0 should kill the popup boxes. I'm going to make sure it works and then add it to the portfile.
