Is this still a problem with Fedora 18? If so, please file a bug at https://bugzilla.gnome.org under the component gnome-packagekit -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This is still a problem with Fedora 18, just had such a notification happen 5 minutes ago. I filed an upstream bug here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685153 The notification is NOTIFY_URGENCY_NORMAL. We only use NOTIFY_URGENCY_CRITICAL when there is a critical security update that needs to be applied. Reopening, see upstream remarks: critical security updates don't appear to be that rare (I recall getting them often enough so I find this slightly annoying, I haven't counted the occasions though), and when I'm watching a movie or just writing an e-mail, I probably do NOT want to do the updates right now. Maybe that's bad behaviour or something, but since I'm not running a nuclear plant, there are simply times where I don't want to update immediately. And in such cases, the update notification staying on screen forever until I click on it so it finally goes away is annoying to me. If I'm the only one with that opinion, feel free to close again - but I just wanted to bring this up for further consideration. I don't think any update notification should stay on screen forever, since the computer won't explode or whatever if the user doesn't instantly apply the update. I understand a security update should be applied rather soon - but an hour later won't cause the computer to explode. This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
