Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 178732
RELNOTES - Give some information about nightly updates script
Last modified: 2007-04-18 13:36:35 EDT
Document does not mention the daily cronjob that must be enabled by users to run at night. I wan't to believe this is a valuable info which should be stated/ explained. I found some reference here: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/sn-updating-your-system.html In particular Section 6.1.
I agree that information on updating ought to be prominent - I added a section on running an update post-install, and enabling the cronjob, to the FC5 Installation Guide. We could add a FAQ item on system updates, if it's not appropriate for the Release Notes.
Yeah, add it to: fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ We will use that as a source for the FAQ to appear on the system.
OK - there's now a FAQ item for updates.
I'm going to close this as a release note NOTABUG, since we put it into the FAQ. There is not bugzilla component for the FAQ, or I would reassign there and then close to CURRENTRELEASE. Just FYI so you don't think NOTABUG meant "this wasn't valuable input." We just don't yet have a container for that particular input. :) We need to be sure the FAQ is prominent in the release notes and everyone is encouraged to RTFFAQ. :)
Fine. I do agree that FAQs should get users attention more then relnotes.
