Unix tools should keep quiet unless an error occurs.
If yum fails for some reason, you should know, either through an e-mail
or by some other means.
If you need to watch yum to make sure it works, you should consider
filing a bug to make it more noisy on errors.
i agree but i actually meant this also as expand arrow.. actually the same one as the one that i describe later on in the first post.
and i think you misunderstand me on all other points.
Security updates are released every 1440 minutes (daily),
Checking for updates every five minutes is overkill.
that`s not what i mean.. when you run gnome and you see the update notifications but you don`t use that to update.. instead you use a terminal session to run all the updates. i think pup should be in same way be notified of that or just check to see if there ware new updates (yum list updates) or whatever.. there must be a way ^_^
look at this: http://www.abclinuxu.cz/images/clanky/tesar/ubuntu_510_software_update_stahovani_s.jpg
pup (while it`s updating) could look like that.. you will keep the user friendly stuff and you add stuff that the more technical people want. everyone happy

pup won't notice a yum update. This needs to be bugzillaed.

pup is aimed at making security updates simple for non-technical people.
A lot of technical people seem to want to make pup into a graphical yum,
which means we will later need yet another program that aims to be aimed
at non-technical people.
