I believe Brandon want something that openSUSE already does with it's "One Click Install" -- a small script that drops a new repo file, *then* issue an install instruction for one of the packages from that repo. I'm traveling right now, but depending on how good the Internet connection is, I might be able to work on Fedora-izing the one-click system. Hopefully not much needs changing to adapt it to Yum instead of whatever openSUSE uses right now (is it still Zypper? My workplace is still on openSUSE 11.1 and I don't have a newer version installed elsewhere) Cheers, -- Michel Alexandre Salim Fedora Project Contributor: http://fedoraproject.org/ Email: salimma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | GPG key ID: 78884778 Jabber: hircus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | IRC: hircus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
