KDE required a system reboot? KDE really just requires a session restart, not a full reboot (and only if you're actually running it while upgrading). If PackageKit now detects the need for a session start automatically, I guess we can rely on that in the future (but we'll need to get the sticky requires reboot flag cleared on all those packages in the Bodhi server, I think a lot of packages carry this by now due to how it spreads in grouped updates).

Potential PackageKit improvement???
Hi, before I file anything about this, just wanted to ask. Today I received a KDE update, I don't run the kde desktop. It wants to reboot my whole computer... Perhaps it could be smarter to know whether it needs a reboot, a logout / login, particularly if I'm running gnome vs KDE... Is this a legitimate request? Should I file a bug / feature request? -- Nathanael d. Noblet -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

2009/8/25 Nathanael D. Noblet nathan...@gnat.ca: Is this a legitimate request? Should I file a bug / feature request? It depends. If the bodhi metadata says restart-required then PackageKit honours this.

That said, that flag is somehow sticky in Bodhi: if an update to a package XYZ had that flag set, any future update to that same package XYZ will get it set automatically. Particularly annoying for update groups like KDE, where an update of just, say, kdenetwork doesn't really require a restart. Nor updates which just add a patch. Whereas running a mix of KDE 4.2 and 4.3 tends to be unstable, so we do have to recommend to restart at least X11 (but Bodhi / the metadata / PackageKit have no way of marking a restart of only the session as recommended) for that kind of updates. Fixing Bodhi to not make that flag stick in the way it currently does would probably be a good start, I'm going to file a bug in the Bodhi tracker for that.
