Adding a conflicts to yum against zif was a inappropriate use of conflicts and must have been resolved in a better way. The animosity between people working on competing solutions is leading to a proposal which really wouldn't fly. Having said that, I think zif needs to be command line compatible and support delta RPMs by default for it to be the default backend for the desktop and I really don't think desktop environments should have a different dep resolver from the rest of Fedora. I don't know if I want to use zif yet but Richard Hughes should aim for a comprehensive solution instead of just addressing the PackageKit problem in a narrow way because I think the problem PackageKit is facing is also true for other tools. Libguestfs has already come out as an example. Rahul -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
