Whatever failing the veteran Yum > alone this way might have, I'm not seeing. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove is the obvious recent example. It is not practically possible to achieve a change like that within the packaging system. One way of looking at things is really just that fedup is a yum upgrade wrapped in the minimum necessary wrapping to provide us with the ability to hook in changes outside the packaging system. If you're going to do that you may as well make it also do the upgrade 'offline', as fedup does. But that's really about all fedup does: it really just boots to a special systemd target and does 'yum upgrade', when you boil it down, and allows us to hook in other operations in dracut if we need to. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
