In KDE you can use Apper. (And possibly Muon in the future, which was developed by the Kubuntu folks but recently gained PackageKit support as well.) Not only will it work fine with DNF or yum but in Fedora 21 it will also get the fancy new screenshots and application descriptions that are available in gnome-software currently. If your favorite desktop doesn't have a PacakgeKit client, yell at them. It's been around for years now and is supported by all the major distributions. (I'm rather surprised the MATE folks haven't forked gnome-packagekit already...) Also, originally DNF was supposed to keep some compatibility with the yum python API. If that is still the case, porting yumex to DNF may be within the realm of possibility. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
