Also with F13? Then I could return to running "yum -y update --skip-broken" instead of letting an autostarted desktop app be "more convenient".

There is no bugzilla ticket about it, because I simply don't have the time to open tickets for _every_ issue I run into and have - package maintainers possibly ignore the tickets for months, and - dist EOL bug autoclosing scripts force me to re-examine dozens of issues. So, typically I open only a limited number of tickets, and only if there is progress, I will consider reporting further issues. For some things it's simply much more easier to just disable it and move on. Eventually, there will be another user to notice and report the same issue, and that will spread the load. Or it's on some todo-list already. Time will tell. Problems, such as the package list view paging up and down automatically (and wildly) during download even if the user wants to scroll manually, is a UI issue that won't go unnoticed forever. > Removing itself > from the icon after a failed dep update is probably a sane thing to > do. > > Richard. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
