Package: needrestart Version: 3.4-5~bpo9+1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
on our company we often have to coordinate with the actual application administrators before installing any package updates. I guess it is similar for other companies. It would be usefull, if needrestart had a parameter to check what has to be restarted, if certain (libraries) are changed. For example you provide a list of files from a pending package upgrade, and needrestart would check which services you will have to restart after installing it. Best regards, Alexander PS: I understand that this request is not strictly the purpose of needrestart, but it seemed to fit best. -- Package-specific info: needrestart output: -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.9 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-9-marvell Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages needrestart depends on: ii binutils 2.28-5 ii dpkg 1.18.25 ii gettext-base 0.19.8.1-2 ii libintl-perl 1.26-2 ii libmodule-find-perl 0.13-1 ii libmodule-scandeps-perl 1.23-1 ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.53-2 ii libsort-naturally-perl 1.03-1 ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.37-1 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.2+b1 Versions of packages needrestart recommends: ii libpam-systemd 232-25+deb9u11 Versions of packages needrestart suggests: pn iucode-tool <none> pn needrestart-session | libnotify-bin <none> -- no debconf information
