+# CCSMB 9: Disabling Automatic Updating and Dependency Installation in Lua Programs
+
+*Author: Tomodachi94 <@tomodachi94>*
+
+## Rationale
+This RFC allows users to programmatically disable autoupdating and dependency installation in programs.
+Some users opt to use package managers when installing programs, which typically manage updates and dependencies on their own; additionally, some users would like to remain on a specific version for stability.
+
+## Autoupdating specification
+Programs implementing an autoupdater MAY support the following options for disabling that function.
+
+Programs which are specifically designed to update programs, namely installers and package managers, SHOULD NOT implement the following.
+
+Programs implementing an autoupdater MUST implement all options listed below in order to be considered compliant.
+
+### `settings` API setting
+Compliant programs MUST allow disabling autoupdating through the `ccsmb.autoupdate.enable` setting. If the option is set to `false`, autoupdating MUST be disabled. If the option is unset, compliant programs MAY choose to enable or disable autoupdating for itself.
+
+Programs running on operating systems which remove the `settings` API MAY be considered compliant if they choose not to implement the `ccsmb.autoupdate.enable` setting. Such operating systems MAY implement equivalent functionality through other means appropriate for that system.
+
+### Global variable
+
+Compliant programs MUST allow disabling autoupdating through the `CCSMB_ENABLE_AUTOUPDATING` global variable. If the global is set to `false`, autoupdating MUST be disabled. If the variable is unset, compliant programs MAY choose to enable or disable autoupdating for itself.
+
+## Dependency installation specification
+Programs implementing autoinstallation of dependencies MAY support the following options for disabling that function.
+
+Programs which are specifically designed to install dependencies, namely installers and package managers, SHOULD NOT implement the following.
+
+Programs implementing autoinstallation of dependencies MUST implement all options listed below in order to be considered compliant.
+
+### `settings` API setting
+Compliant programs MUST allow disabling dependency installation through the `ccsmb.dependencyInstallation.enable` setting. If the option is set to `true`, autoinstallation of dependencies MUST be disabled. If the option is unset, compliant programs MAY choose to enable or disable dependency installation for itself.
+
+Programs running on operating systems which remove the `settings` API MAY be considered compliant if they choose not to implement the `ccsmb.dependencyInstallation.enable` setting. Such operating systems MAY implement equivalent functionality through other means appropriate for that system.
+
+### Global variable
+
+Compliant programs MUST allow disabling autoinstallation of dependencies through the `CCSMB_ENABLE_DEPENDENCY_INSTALLATION` global variable. If the global is set to `false`, autoupdating MUST be disabled. If the option is unset, compliant programs MAY choose to enable or disable dependency installation for itself.
