Non technical users aren't going to be watching security lists etc. to know its time to update, rpm is just part of packaging with Fedora - rpm packages can be served from a repository that updates the packages when needed so that the non-technical end user just has to hit a button and have their software updated. Take the recent rtf patch to AbiWord - people using Fedora with the repositories got updates that fixed the issue because the updates were pushed through yum. People using the autopackage - they must find out by some other means that an update is available to fix a problem they may not know exists. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
