"applications" is still way too broad, IMO. Even if you limit it to what I assume you meant, "Desktop applications", it's not obvious that is good enough. A useful end goal seems more likely to be something like "allow 'local' users to update/install signed/trusted versions of: fonts, codecs, themes, games, editors". For bonus points you could make it possible for them to remove packages they have installed. If done well this should even allow things like the "webadmin" role being allowed to update/install apache related packages. -- James Antill - james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.25 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
