OBJECTIVE

Create a controlled Termux package update routine with inventories, logs and recovery notes.

TIME PLAN

Prepare 20m · Build 110m · Verify 30m · Document 20m

Working boundary

Work only inside the folder created by Smartphone-Academy.py prepare package-update-rollback-plan. Use the supplied samples, your own phone, or systems you are explicitly authorized to administer.

Prepare the Termux workspace

Open Termux in the Academy root and prepare this lab with the local companion. It creates safe samples, notes and evidence files under your Termux account.

Android + Termuxpython Smartphone-Academy.py prepare package-update-rollback-planNo root. Keep the workspace under $HOME and avoid personal identifiers in evidence.

Practical mission

  1. Capture installed package versions before updating
  2. Separate repository refresh, package upgrade and Python dependency changes
  3. Record update output and identify packages that changed
  4. Define when to restore a backup, pin a version or wait for an upstream fix
EVIDENCE TO PRODUCE

A package update checklist, before-and-after inventory and rollback decision record.

Quality gate

The scope, date and tested device or workspace are clearly identified.
Every conclusion points to a command result, setting, source or measured observation.
Another learner can repeat the procedure without guessing hidden steps.
Limitations, uncertainty and any skipped checks are recorded honestly.

Analyst reflection

Which result from “Define when to restore a backup, pin a version or wait for an upstream fix” needs stronger evidence before it can support a real decision?

Complete in Termux

After checking the evidence, run python Smartphone-Academy.py complete package-update-rollback-plan. Progress is stored locally in the Termux home directory.
