(I know this has been talked about, what's the status?) Maybe you can help do what's necessary to get apport integrated into our infrastructure. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureApport > > 2) Make it simple to roll back to a known good state.

We need per-package rollback. Period. Let me point out that rollback itself would require testing. Obsoletes, triggers, (un)post/pre scripts, config file handling... all this rpm functionality complicates how successful rollbacks are to get you back to a restored system state. How are we going to test if a rollback works before you ask people to perform the rollback? Just start with obsoletes... describe to me how we rollback after an obsolete calculation has occurred as part of an update transaction. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
