Now part of the python3-dnf-plugins-core package so you don't need a separate command. With the plugin installed it just runs automatically. > Most of the > time, either nothing needs restarting, or there are one or two > programs > you'll need to exit and restart on your own.

My only quibble is that it sometimes tells you (correctly) to restart something where it's not obvious how to do this other than logging out and in again, e.g. pipewire-media-session. If the plugin were better informed about this kind of component it would be more user-friendly. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
