is it really a good decision to restart services after update in the %post section? currently my hardest work is rebuild packages without this especially for dist-upgrades with "yum" because in this case many would fail because they are restarted in the middle of the transaction and not all deps are updated one of the biggest benefits of linux is that you can update a running application this is currently degraded especially in the case of mysql mind a machine where postfix, dovecot, dbmail... are relying on mysqld the automatic restart of mysqld causes a lot of troubles if oyu are not stop all the other services before and yes, it makes sense run updates to a "human time" and restart the services later at night, the first task can be automated if the applications are not stopped what currently happepns i would be really thanful if this changes would be reverted earlier fedira releases were totally uncritical making a dist-upgrade at night and even reboot the next day while you can relaxed drive to your company if something goes wrong - not funny in the night! i think a good comprimise would be a hint with the restart-command but not do this automatic to help some "desktop novice users" ehat is not meant as rant - it is my exierience of the last two years
