Thanks to your (very helpful! thank you!!) pointer I edited .../urlgrabber/progress.py as you directed, making the three changes (to my python-urlgrabber-3.0.0-15.fc11.noarch one). I then ran a "yum update" (using yum-3.2.23-3.fc11.noarch) in my emacs as usual and all of the lines which appeared to me to be "wrapped" in previous trials came out fine now! I am pleased to report that it seems to have done the trick! All lines were 79 characters long (or shorter), even with any trailing spaces, both during their "active" stage and their passive/results/final stage. (I am ignoring any long lines with super-long package names, clearly not relevant.) I can't speak to whether such a change is a desirable thing to do. That is entirely up to people like you. But if I might make a suggestion: if it turns out you don't feel it's desirable, don't feel like investigating emacs, or whatever, perhaps it might be (somehow) possible to make the ability to override that built-in "80" be easy? If such a thing is possible, that would allow people like me (me only, in all the world?) to get the old-fashioned-yum behavior. I'm afraid I don't know Python and so can't make any serious suggestions but perhaps it can somehow accept arguments from somewhere? An environmental variable (YUM_LINE_WIDTH=79)? A personal yum-settings file (~/.yum.conf) with something? At any rate, thank you again for taking the time and trouble to both maintain yum and even to listen (patiently!) to such crazy loons (cough, cough) as might occasionally pop up, and their never-to-be-imagined requests/complaints/suggestions. Thanks again. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
