Performant different from scalable. And you didn't address the problem of not having proper error communication, and I can add the lack of format API and mechanism to signal deprecation to issue of CLI as a automation mechanism. You can also add the fact that all CLI calls are synchronous ( since shell lack advanced synchronisation primitives ), which is also something going against modern scalability ( and by scalability, I do not mean "20 machines" like you seems to do ) The fact we use command line tools in %post in rpm rather than clearly defined API to affect the system is one of the reason why rollback is hard to automate. -- Michael Scherer -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
