appsaudit behaviour in case of copy2fs
« on: January 06, 2011, 05:37:13 AM »
in case the extensions are copied to the fs:
  • update apps could immediatly change the tcz instead of using the update dir (the one under optional).
  • mark for deletion could immediatly delete the extensions instead of doing this during the shutdown process

A mechanism to check if any of the files concerned are in use would be required (fuser?, lsof[not in base]?)

Disregard my last post, I had misunderstood.

I always find it fascinating that someone posts about what I am working on.

In an effort to promote the use of ondemand I have just completed the support of removing said extensions (unmounted) without the need to reboot. Look for it in 3.5.

Some developers like to blog about their activities, I would rather develop.

heh, I've implemented the same thing here for a test, but forgot about it because I had to develop other stuff;)
