Simplicity is a desirable goal and rightly one should strive for it, the question remains would a merged tool ie an extended/improved/feature rich Pirut or a Yumex with possible extensions serve the ends ? And of course, would at the end the choice will boil down to a single tool ?
+1 to a single tool for managing repos globally, rather than every apps have its own repo control, which is , IMHO, make stuff feels more complicated .. I like system-config-repo's and repoman's approach .. pirut just install/remove apps.. repoman/sysconfrepo for all-thing repository related .. and yumex for advanced users .. a textUI (eg: system-config-repo-tui) for enabling/disabling repos is also a nice thing to have .. it make it easier for writing automated scripts etc. (I had this problem before , enabling/disabling repos globally was a pain for a person who dont know much in manipulating strings in scripts like me - or maybe such app already exist but I dont know about it???) -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 mohd.izhar.firdaus@xxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87@xxxxxxxxx Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus ----------------------------------------------- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
