Hmmm...I guess no one ever saves copies of the their MySQL tables, or Postgresql if you like (BTW, I completly understand that to do one needs the database in a quiescent state)? That there might be a backup option for rpm is reasonable, but when it should get called is a completely different question (again we have entered policy land, if you don't believe me we can make autorollback the default behavior). ...james _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
