I just meant that the IDEA for some of what yum did came from what yup did, so that yum did not spring fully formed from your brow, however impressive that brow might be...:-) So while you were using yup you were figuring out what sucked and what could be done better and what was good, so yum's basic parameters were in part inherited from yup-experience. Stealing from yup and rewriting it into yum is in the best tradition of open source software anyway. I wasn't trying to take credit from the yupvolken, rather I was pointing out that yum inherited some of yup's history and features, in whole cloth, even though by now you probably have very little to no lines of yup-original code in it (I don't remember, did you start yum from scratch or use the yup code as a jumping off point)? rgb > > -sv > > > _______________________________________________ > Yum mailing list > Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum > -- Robert G.
