It's as simple as that, and why ten very secure passwords are much worse than a simple password the user can actually remember without writing it on his desk. You and the others « stop at the first problem » advocates are trying to strong-arm users in perfect behaviour. Guess what ? It doesn't work in real life and it won't work for you either. If you really want to protect against persistant update failures make yum collect stats and warn when a package repeatedly fail updates. Do not bother the user with every transient mirror sync hic-cup problem or he'll just start ignoring you altogether. Do you know why windows security sucks ? It's not because the patches does not exist, it's just that applying them has historically been so painful people do not bother. Why are you purposefully making yum use painful as well ? -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
