I think you're underestimating the amount of extra effort this would require for each program. It's not a simple patch by any means (even assuming it's possible). Much more like a fork in fact. And as a general rule, adding reliability code to any program makes it larger, slower (because of extra network operations and checks) and a lot harder to maintain. If this stuff was easy, it would be packaged and accessible to the average programmer. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
