Summary: Review Request: smart -- Next generation package handling tool https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175438 ------- Additional Comments From jarkko@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-01-23 14:58 EST ------- One thing though. :) Does the applet allow running "smart update" by normal users? By _all_ users? That is not safe (I know it does not do any serious harm, but you should still not allow it by default - even though it only updates the cache - cache updates should be controlled by the superuser). Actually the applet should not run "smart update". There should be a cron job which does that. The applet should just check if there are new updates - without trying to update the local cache. If the applet would just do that, it would not need root permissions. Of course you need root permissions to actually upgrade the packages, but then you launch the gui which asks password with consolehelper. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
