It would still yank things out from under the running environment possibly making the whole system unstable, or sufficiently confusing for the user that they initiate a reboot in the middle of the update. rpm-ostree does its updates out of band, i.e. they're done on an inactive copy of the root file system, so they could be done in the background. Even still, this requires a reboot to use the updated tree. Granted, it's one less reboot than we have now. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
