Handling of Packagegroups for Groupwise updating 2. Notification applet (maybe as external application may as internal feature... guess external would be preferred) 3. Repository Handling from UI (i liked the up2date behaviour to selectively enable and disable repos) 4. selectivly exluding packages by gui (clickable list with checkbox buttons maybe?) 5. all of the above stuff saveable into yum config files to have a consistent environment. while i think that most of above suggestions arent really necassery for even an 1.0 release of the software and while i additionally think that some of the above stuff should probably go under an "advanced" tab, i think that some of the above mentioned stuff can be helpful to make package updates properly manageable from gui. regards, Rudolf Kastl p.s. opinions welcome -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
