You're right - if you specify 'yum update' and something fails, it won't
run the update. That's behavior that, to me, protects the user from
stupid stupid shite.
Well, on rawhide there is always something broken:(
So no update ever ?
Say you have an experimental repo in your setup, it only has to break
to stop all security updates ? (even on a stupid error like the artwork
one ?)
Again, if you don't want to use yum, then don't. I have no
problem with
that. I think there are lots of people out there who know that I've been
working quite hard to make sure that repositories are not bound up for
any one updater or pkg management tool.
Hey, I know and I respect that. Why do you think I'm spending a lot of
*my* time to learn to use yet another update manager ? I knew yum
wouldn't like rawhide, but yum is the single free update manager
rawhide supports now, so...
I don't expect yum to do miracles and update when dependencies are not
satisfied. Blocking on unrelated packages dep errors OTOH is a bit
excessive IMHO.
But again, you are free to disagree:)
