Some time ago Chris Chabot said that it would be nice to have a web interface where end users could seen what is available in nice catogories without getting overwhelmed by a zillion sub packages, the answer given then was repoview. Also repoview is direct linked under: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/ Under the Heading "Fedora Extras Users" it is actually most of the content under this heading, I concider showing that the old version is still available to the end user only confusing *. Remember the leaving the old version in the repo is only meant as a fallback mechanism, not as the default mode of operation. * especially since he won't be able to install it without serious manual intervention. So please atleast at an option to repoview to only show the latest version and use that to generate the pages under http://fedoraproject.org/extras/5/i386/repodata/ (and friends) Regards, Hans -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEQO/v47KA3t5s3+8RAhjbAKCGwwNicFyjQRMu6GV2DvTQStr04ACfQ4ER VKgK0k/ywKyYXPLsxSbeGpA= =L0NS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
