Do you have something in mind that is going to replace system-config-packages? Is it goig to be something like synptic for apt? Thaks

The point of the work going on w/pup is to make the pkg mgmt process
less intimidating. Synaptic has the problem of being a VERY busy
interface that a lot of less experienced users would get extremely lost
in.

Let's not start with that interface, let's figure out how we can make
some interfaces up that make some of the processes easier.


will we find "pup" here ?
 http://linux.duke.edu/projects/


will it have ?

- edit existing yum.repos.d files
- add new repos, evtl. by clicking on http://somwhere.org/repository/addthisyumrepo.file
- overview|enable|disable repos

- sort packages|groups by:  installdate, install-source, name, size, ...
- whichcd [RFE] - /usr/share/comps-extras/whichcd.py pckg1 pkg2 group1 group2
- show package|group dependencies
(is it possible to access the rpm database via odbc ?)

- sources (evtl. createrepo):
cd (distri-cds, additional-cds), iso-file, ftp, http, webdav, nfs, ...

- different themes
