:-) At the end of the day, if the OS doesn't give you atomic multi-file transactions, and your %pre/%post scripts aren't also written perfectly atomically, I would say that it _is_ impossible. In any case, are there reasons to believe that behaviour in rpm has improved (in F11) in the face of a powerloss in the middle of a transaction? If we start doing OS upgrades and removing power at random points, what chance does rpm of recover/resume? It is an admittedly hard question. cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
