Why would you want this to be something packaged? We have 'reboot recommended' in our bodhi update metadata, and that seems like a much better place for it. Otherwise, you run into cases where multiple packages want to write/own the file, etc. Also, I think "recommended" is really the appropriate terminology here. There is very little that _requires_ a reboot to be done after it is installed. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
