You sound as if you're surprised that an update tool applies offline updates with the help of rebooting. It has never been entirely safe to update/upgrade with Yum. Simply because Yum does not take any precautions, such as making sure the user doesn't use a program while upgrading it, or killing and restarting services in a way it doesn't harm the runtime environment. Offline updates remove some of the pitfalls. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
