As I posted back in April, I am writing a book for O'Reilly on RPM and
YUM. The timescales have slipped somewhat due to the demands of the
day job, but it is starting to come together. Apologies to those who
volunteered to review the book - I will have something to look at soon
now.
While trying to get my head around everything to do with yum I
realized that the man page is rather indigestible. It lists about 30
different commands in no discernible order. One could organize the
commands into three categories: (1) reporting (on packages, groups,
repos and dependencies), (2) package installation, upgrade and
removal, and (3) housekeeping and miscellaneous. I would be happy to
modify the man page if people would like to get an idea of how it
might be restructured.
I have put a formatted PDF of my modified version of the man page up at
https://portal.ford-mason.co.uk/yum.8-new.pdf
All I have done is added sections to group the commands and moved text
around.
Comments would be welcome.
