im not sure about centos, but in debian land is very tipical to found messages like that after installing/upgrading:
"Remember to restart XXX package!"
can yum do that?
rpm can do that, if you run it from the command line. If you use a graphical tool to install/update packages, this information is not printed.
But when you update 389-ds-base, rpm will upgrade and restart the servers for you (if they were running when you did the upgrade).
so, if rpm can detect you have an instance, why don't just run setup-ds-admin.pl -u?
do you think is a good idea?
should i file a bug/feature request?
I'd like to find out what is the problem with the way it is done now, and the motivation (i.e. what is the problem that you are attempting to solve).
i though it was clear with my previous questions.
upgrading your system from packages can be dangerous if you dont perform specific steps (setup-ds-admin.pl -u).
there's few packages that needs to perform a manual operation after upgrading, so a system may be misconfigured whithout your knowledge.
anyway, if you dont find this usefull just forget it. maybe is my problem because i tend to update my systems very often.
