You're not engaging with Richard's argument at all, which he's stated in quite a lot of detail in multiple places. His point is that it works until it doesn't - in *most* cases you happen to get away with doing something which is fundamentally unreliable, right up until it actually bites you in the ass. And he's stated several times that he and the other maintainers of packaging-related apps have had to deal with multiple bugs caused by online updates. If you can actually counter those points, we have an interesting debate, but if all you're going to do is restate the position he's already said is too simplistic, we're not going anywhere. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
