It needs two restarts, so it's quite unacceptable when updating a minor component of the system.
zypper up will always be an option..
You could say, apply offline when any of the packages are marked needs-blah-restart. It would be even more preferrable to stop X, apply the update (invoking the update-system.target on systemd) and then restart X, when the only thing that's flagged for restart is the desktop.
I hope you see that what you are proposing makes things even more complicated than just making it all offline.
The most complicated thing is to ask all users to log off to be able to reboot. This offline update feature is another thing which may be useful on single user desktop systems only (if it's useful at all). Also it conflicts with "automatic updates". Or do we have auto-reboot also now - it wouldn't wonder me ... Just fix (or don't use) packages who have problems with online updates - that's what "sane" people would to. Anybody who tells me in 2013 that I have to reboot just to update an arbitrary webrowser like firefox has obviously some other problems to be solved first ... cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
