Aren't upgrades demanding too much restarts?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Latest F13 upgrades include two packages that "require" a restart:
evolution-data-server and GtkHTML.

... ?! Is it really necessary to *reboot* because two desktop
components have been upgraded? Shouldn't a logout/login be enough?
This sounds like overkill, specially if you're the only one using the
computer (i.e. there are no other users using those libraries/services
besides you -- *if* you're using them). I don't even use Evolution!

Isn't there any more clever way of determining if a reboot is really
necessary? Or maybe at least the message should be less "demanding", I
don't know... it really seems unneeded.

I used to be proud of Linux only needing a reboot when the kernel (or
some key component) was upgraded. This is sadly feeling like "those
good old times" :-(

Andre
