"dnf install foo bar"
This is a single operation, comparable to having multiple packages installed via graphical package manager, not scheduling multiple operations at once. It would be the same If a graphical package manager offered to select multiple packages/applications and then start the transaction.
"dnf install foo; dnf install bar"
This is equivalent to:
1. Open Graphical package manager
2. Install foo
3. Close Graphical package manager
4. Open Graphical package manager
5. Install bar
6. Close Graphical package manager
dnfdragora supports doing install + upgrade + removal in the same
transaction. This is equivalent to using "dnf shell" to construct a
transaction in the CLI.
It is technically possible to do this with PackageKit too, but neither
Discover nor Software expose this as far as I know.
Did I miss something in this thread? Given that the current Gnome
graphical package manager requires a full and expensive reboot in
between every install for virtually every package for mostly-defective
reasons, how would you actually install two packages sequentially like
that? Are you suggesting that the current and IMHO
poorly-thought-through package manager be finally replaced? If so,
hoorah!!!
I'm all for stealing the code from tracer or the Ubuntu installer to
identify what needs restarting, and maybe putting out a flag to prevent
bug submissions while the running packages are not up-to-date. I
believe that would completely eliminate the mandatory reboots, and allow
the package manager to move forward properly.
