Does somebody know a similar project for YUM? I Synaptic is anything but friendly. It is a direct, raw wrapping of the apt command-line. You still have to actually understand how apt works, what the different between update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade are, have to deal with the lack of categorization in RPM packages, etc. > intended to speak about GYUM (http://cobind.com/yumgui.html).

GYUM is a UI abomination, but otherwise, it works. I sent in a big list of UI suggestions and reasoning to the GYUM devs and never got a response - no idea if they plan on fixing the UI to be sane or leaving it the ugly, unusable mess that it is. It'd probably be easier to just write a fresh GUI from scratch using the proper tools, especially if yum 2.1.0 is as easy to wrap as Seth is indicating. > > Regards, > Gilles > > -- Sean Middleditch <elanthis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> AwesomePlay Productions, Inc.
