The main reason¹ it was a daemon initially is that pirut/pupplet spoke to it over dbus. Changing yum-cron to use yum-updatesd --oneshot was on my TODO list a long time ago, but it turned out to be non-trivial and keep backwards compat. with both pieces ... so nothing happened to either piece. ¹ One other feature is that we wanted "hourly" but with a random start, so if everyone turned their computer on at 9am it wouldn't slam the repo. ... this might be possible in newer cron's though. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
