Feature changed by: Matthias Nagorni (mnagorni) Feature #306966, revision 5 Title: No Shutdown/Suspend During Package Update openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: During a package update, it should not be possible to shutdown or suspend the system. Such requests should be delayed until the package update is finished. You do not want to bring the system in an inconsistent state. I consider this a desktop feature, so if somebody runs halt/shutdown on the console, this might not need to work - but if the GNOME/KDE shutdown/suspend options are used, it should finish the update first. Note: Windows does not allow shutdown during an update. What happened and let me to report this as feature: A user installed a kernel update and thought the update was finished. But only one out of the three kernel packages was updated and therefore after a reboot, the system did not came up completely. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: If this feature is not implemented, people can get broken systems - which might result in support calls. + Discussion: + #1: Matthias Nagorni (mnagorni) (2009-08-24 17:42:52) + Seems obvious since system integrity should be a primary goal. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306966
