Isn't that exactly what yum-updatesd is supposed to do ? if you have a running daemon(yum-updatesd/yumd), why not just use it as a persistent daemon rather than depending on dbus to start it each time? Also - it lets us work with the portion of the market who run servers and like the idea of a daemon they can query for pkg information, but don't run dbus. We turned dbus off everywhere we could - it just used ram and didn't do anything for me running a webserver. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
