Hi, these days with all that fancy systemd stuff like services or timer, it is easy to automate some processes.
I was thinking about running urpmi as systemd service triggered by a timer (X times per day/week/month). What are benefits or having urpmi as a daemon ? 1. Smooth upgrade As urpmi is running by mdkonline, rpmdrake or in graphical console, some gig updates may break current session and user will end in broken system. 2. Ease upgrade I think this will help with KDE4 -> Plasma5 update, as when installing new desktop environment may cause X11 session to die, for certain when switching to from X11 to Wayland. What urpmi is missing ? Urpmi does not use D-BUS or any IPC (mdkonline is not that kind) that will help users to interact with urpmi running as a systemd service. There is even more safe way to perform updates with using http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates/ but currently this does not work, and i'm trying to figure it out what is missing here. WDYT ?
