the need of "Offline Updates"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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"
