Oops, I forgot about wild cards. You're right, but what about the approach on packages rather than commands ? If one uses yum-libs as Michael said, in my opinion this should be the best way of specifying packages since the wildcards could be expanded properly. So "install foo*" followed by "erase foobar*" would accomplish the expected thing. > Finally, I'd prefer if things for yum all stay in the same language, > having a hodge podge of languages is hard to deal with and it's just not > sensible in the long run. You're right again. I admit that since I know very little Python programming I'm not well suited for the job (at least not now :) ). In conclusion I will write a few lines of code to implement the "run" queue command as well and start using yum-queue for my personal stuff. Thank you and Michael for your usefull comments. Mihai
