OK this is from just one thread, pretty much exactly two years ago. It's a long thread so these are just extractions I think are useful in getting a few different data points about the rationalization of offline updates, and context for the use case where they're most well suited (or not).
And really the bottom line is, dnf update is fine the vast majority of the time, except when it isn't. Failures are somewhere in between a bug and not at all surprising. And people have been working hard on solving this for years. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/YAWUZXOTCHWGPZ4RKKN22YSB575IEDIJ/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/NUJIJEZN5RV6E6DH7P2EM35OJUC3NM75/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4HHSIHSQM7HSQRT3KPLLF5MC7FVVTXAJ/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/36PTCP2G2I4FKZQSYNT4YLR22557ARBA/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZARJIYPOJKUACXFYWFHMSU4WHPDB4IPK/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/6GIGWVDIKHGBEGWS7CWDRI5OSCS7NLYF/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ODNPCPTWNVFRGBGC2IQUA5VSSKGESAMV/ There are a bunch of other threads scattered about on multiple lists about and why OSTree. About and why LVM thinp snapshots, Btrfs, and Snapper. Why Chrome OS, Android, and also even CoreOS went with the A/B partitioning layout they did. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
