some Rawhide feedback

[David]

Today's update, went smoothly for my install of Workstation.

My kernel is now:    5.7.0-0.rc1.20200414git8632e9b5645b.1.fc33

My backup kernel is:   5.7.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc33

And my emergency kernel is the crusty old 5.7.0-0.rc0.git8.1.fc33

The only fc31 package on my install is TrouSerS.

I have a new point-release of Firefox.       Why out of all the packages
that
gets updated is Firefox the most finicky ?    and requiring a reboot ?

Several packages got bumped up this week from the fc32 to the fc33
category.    Among them was gnucash.    ( But mine is a flathub flatpak )

Cups is now fc33, except for the two packages below:

cups-pk-helper.x86_64                 0.2.6-9.fc32
     cura-lulzbot.noarch                   1:3.6.21-3.fc32

There are still some stale crusty bread lying around:

gnome-themes-extra.x86_64             3.28-7.fc32

but nothing else easily noticeable.     I am joking sarcastically,
but about half of the lib**** packages ( dependencies ?? )
are all still fc32, which is normal at this early stage in the flow
of things.

All and all, I am betting Fedora 33 is going to be the best release
yet.

Mine boots up quickly and reliably, and has been stable since installation
( new fresh install about a week or two ago ).

oops,

Please ignore my previous comment about cups in my
email.    I am typing while half-asleep.

You don't need to reboot for a Firefox update, but you should at least 
restart it.  Where do you see that it requires a reboot?

I regularly see dnf (with the tracer module enabled) telling me I need
to reboot when there doesn't seem to be any reason to do so. I may have
filed a BZ about it but can't remember (too early :-)

Of course this wasn't on Rawhide, but why are we talking about Rawhide
here anyway?

Samuel,

Thank you.

I obviously have been confused between the meaning of "restart" and
"reboot."

I will try restarting Firefox next time the message appears, "Firefox must
me restarted."
