hi
This is maybe a stupid question, but why have we not made it possible
to configure this? At least some of it. While I'm on the subject of
configurability, this is probably a totally different subject, but why
haven't we moved some or most of the items that currently reside in
gnome tweak tool into the control center? The more important thing is
software, but just curious since I just thought about it.
Thanks

It used to be there but it didn't work. I must admit I lost control and embarrassed myself on an independent forum at the time because the option was there but it didn't work. When people complained the quick and easy answer was to remove the option. Fedora 16 Verne. Still got a copy of that wallpaper somewhere, loved it.

If someone decides to try and reinstate that option it's going to need a little checking, and although I'm not very technologically advanced I think I might know where people keep skipping past the problem.

Quite a few people have told me that packagekit doesn't do it's own downloads but here's a quick experiment you can try that says this is not entirely accurate.

Clean install of Fedora 21
# yum install yumex
Open yumex, (I make too many "Fat Finger" errors to use command line with confidence)
Uninstall gnome-packagekit and gnomesoftware-installer
Reboot and watch your internet connection be useless until 'something' has it's 26 Mb

When you're ready
# systemctl disable packagekitd
Reboot, no more download.

Cheers,

Andrew.
