But for your question. actually: Yes. And why you might wonder. Well
do you know of any RPM frontend that really gives you what you need,
looks good, works stable and is easy to use? some come close (Ubuntu's
Synaptec) but none are as good as they might be if some more time was
spend on the gui. PackageKit is also looking good but i think
something like the mockup (from njpatel) i showed will be way better
to use.
It looks to me like you could just rewrite the frontend of yumex to look
just like that. All the functionality is there from what I see in the
mockup.
I working all the time to improve to look of yumex and i have seen these
mockups before, they look cool, but the problem with these kind of
mockups, is that they are hard to build, be cause they are not drawn by
the standard gtk theme used in fedora, so when you use the standard
widgets to build the same layout, it don't look so sexy.
I is also important for an application to fit in with the rest of the
system look and have use default font sizes, so people also can read it.
I am always open to suggestions to improve the look and functionality of
yumex, or even better contributions.
About making a yet another package manager, don't go down on that road,
it is a much better idea to work on improving on the one already there
pirut. yumex, PackageKit etc.
PackageKit is a little different than pirut & yumex kind of package
manager, it is more like tracker,beagle kind of package manager, there
yumex & pirut is move like a file manager kind of package manager.
