OK, understand. Now it isn't working anyway (and I think, that should be removed - but it is Your project), so I need to be more carefull (to not have the reason to use --rollbacke) and write some scripts now to make my own --rollback. > Hint: I release @rpm5.org (and run continuous integration > in buildbots) with repackaging enabled. > Every distro I am aware of disables repackaging, and most > user comments I have read suggest disabling to save disk space. I'm using repackege, and I think that in PLD there is more such persons. Now using repackege (FOR ME) will change, but I will use it, because I'm testing some new versions, and sometimes I don't have time to finish tests. Then I ... yes - were using rollback to fast and easly return to working version, next day/night I could return to testing (this procedure were used by me _sometimes_ on production env - after testing number of upgraded packeges by poldek -u -t package) > Sorry: I get gang-raped repeatedly by trolls.

Yes. I can see. But, please do not involve some file system transaction into it :) -- regards, Łukasz Chrustek _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
