the whole discussion abiut offline updates and why yum is not so good for dist-upgrades is from the wrong point of view, most of the problems are only existing because with each release working things are mangeled actual example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907749 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887763#c20 bothing bad would happen if the package would not touch /etc/mtab ________________________________________ the same for updates of services: nothing would happen on a webserver with httpd if it would not be restarted at package-update which goes wrong if you are using PHP and packages of the dep-tree are not yet all updated which fails PHP to load, without the hardcoded restart httpd would happily continue to run with the old php-package from memory so all the problems which are statet against yum-upgrades are introdouced about the last 5-6 years and were not existing before what currently happens is that more and more HARD-WIRED cross-dependencies are introduced, more and more magic ist introduced and at the end of the road we will be on the windows way "you touched anything on the system and so please reboot now"
