The "Update status advanced settings" module extends the administrative interface for Drupal core's "Update status" module and has been extended for notifications through the "myDropWizard" module for Drupal 6 Long-Term Support. It provides additional configuration options on the "Settings" tab of the "Available updates" report, located at: admin/reports/updates/settings Administer >> Reports >> Available updates >> Settings These advanced settings allow site administrators fine-grained control to ignore certain projects on the available updates report, even when a newer version is available. Administrators can also choose to ignore a specific recommended release of a given project. A more appropriate name for this module might be "Update status advanced noise filter", since that's really what it does -- it lets administrators filter out noise in their available updates report so that they can focus on the signal of important updates they should know about. There are many reasons why an administrator might need to ignore a certain "noisy" project and/or a specific version. For example: - The administrator has made local modifications to a module, and does not wish to be notified about newer releases all the time. - The maintainer of the module is not very careful, and frequently puts out releases that the site administrator does not wish to upgrade to. - The maintainer might have released a newer official version which is incompatible with other modules that the site is depending on. For example, perhaps the site cannot upgrade to CCK version 5.x-1.5, since that breaks compatibility with specific CCK field modules in use on the site which the administrator cannot upgrade yet. - The maintainer of the module might have released a new official version with known bugs and the administrator does not wish to upgrade. If the site administrator chooses to ignore a project or specific release of a project, there is a text area to optionally enter a note indicating why.
