[systemd-devel] 'Offline System Updates' examination

[Antonio Trande]

'Offline System Updates' will come as feature for Fedora 18. Reading your
official page <http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates>:

The system update script now creates a btrfs snapshot (if possible), then
> installs all RPMs. After completion (regardless whether the update
> succeeded or failed) the /system-update symlink is removed. In addition, on
> failure it reverts to the old btrfs state (modulo the aforementioned
> symlink), on success it leaves the newly made changes in place.

BTRFS ? Will 'Offline Updates' be available only with BTRFS ?
How will be managed all kernel modules come from extra Fedora repositories
(like RPMFusion) ?
Will be possible disable completely 'Offline System Updates' ?

Disadvantages of this approach over in-system updates:
>
> 1 The system is rebooted twice.

This is a very inconvenient. The short boot times obtained with systemd are
useless if every update (frequent in Fedora) needs of twice reboot.
