Unlike the broken yumex-0.44-1.0.c4.noarch.rpm removed from the testing repo a month or so ago, this one seems functional. There are quite a few messages to stdout but nothing fatal.

For your information, yumex-0.42-9.0.SL.noarch.rpm from Scientific Linux for 4.2 works so far. _______________________________________________ CentOS-devel mailing list CentOS-devel@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel

I have also made some packages of the current stable release of yumex 0.44 here:

Thank you, Tim.

I tested this yumex: yumex-0.44-4.0.centos4.noarch.rpm by installing Kdegames. Installation are finished nicely here.

Again thank you, And its good translation for Japanese done by Mr. MATSUURA Takanori.

is there any reason you dont want to try the 0.99.6-2 version now in dev.centos.org ? also please post positive comments to the bugs.centos.org tracker - it helps us much more there

please also let us know what arch and release of centos you are using

Thank you. I would like to compare this yumex-0.44-4.0.centos4.noarch.rpm with a newest 0.99.6-2 version and what would happen then.

Here I use them at an i386 arch and CentOS 4.2 release. Japanese localization is good enough for yumex-0.44-4.0, while some funshion keys are shown in English, instead of Japanese for the 0.99.6-2 version.

Thanks, in advance.

P.S. - if you would, I can upload actual screenshots of both of them.

There is a new update being pushed out in the next few minutes, I'd recommend you wait for that.

OK, there is now a new version of yumex available:

yumex-0.99.7-1.0.c4.noarch.rpm

it is in the testing repo:

yum --enablerepo c4-testing update yumex

The above command should get it for you if have the testing repo installed.

If you don't have the testing repo file on your PC, you can put the file CentOS-Testing.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/

http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/CentOS-Testing.repo

This version fixes several items, including:

1. Groups now function properly.
2. Items in the action queue are now marked in the Install, Remove and

Update windows. 3. YumEx now writes to the /var/log/yum.log when taking actions. 4. Yum Plugins work with this version.

---

If you are using any version of YumEx with CentOS, I recommend this version instead.

Thank you very much Tim.

OK, here there is another version of yumex posted today with the following bugfixes:

1. Yumex now shows up in the Alt-Tab window when switching applications 2. Older packages than are currently installed not shown in the install window, since yumex won't install an older package. 3. Fixed gui element glade translations so that non-English language is displayed on buttons.

The new file is: yumex-0.99.9-1.0.c4.noarch.rpm

it is in the testing repo:

yum --enablerepo c4-testing update yumex

The above command should get it for you if have the testing repo installed.

If you don't have the testing repo file on your PC, you can put the file CentOS-Testing.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/

http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/CentOS-Testing.repo

Tim,

a couple of comments ....

re version yumex-0.99.7-1.0.c4

1. yumex no longer has an icon in alt-tab - previous installed release had one.

2. Seems strange to show older versions in 'install' window - unless you have support for reversing out later versions ...

At the moment if you select to install an older version yumex errors out with :- /nTransaction Check Error: package yum-2.4.2-1.centos4 (which is newer than yum-2.4.0-1.centos4) is already installed

Surely it would be better not to list them in the install window - or to only list them if an option is set ...

3. I see that there is an option to downoad files lists & changelogs - and it does say that this will take longer ... but with it unselected there are still 'Files' and 'Changelog' tabs - albeit empty. Would it be possible to lose them or grey them out when the option isnt selected - alternatively and preferable would be to download the information just for that package and display it when you click on the tab - either automatically or with a confirm - subject to preference setting.

4. Select repos has a bug that it changes the display order apparently randomly when you click on the lines and selection boxes ... I would also like to be able to see (and or edit) the config for the repo - and possibly add repos from within yumex.

Hope this is helpful

Regards Lance

I will look into this.

Fixed.

You are absolutely right this is a bug, i will look into it.

• and it does say that this will take longer ... but with it

Files & changelog is always availible for installed packages, the option is only for availible packages, where some extra metadata has to be download to show files & changelogs.

weird, I can't reproduce this one (centos 4.2, yum 2.4.2, yumex 0.99.7)

anybody else has this problem ??

I tried again - it is after clicking on the 'File' bar atthe top so it has a ^ in it - so it is trying to order the list - not sure how though and it is quite disconcerting when the one you select moves ...

Now i can reproduce it, i try to solve it.

One other minor point - it seems a bit clunky to have to go through the queue system to install / update one or a couple of rpms ... I can see the benefir of it - but why not have 'update selected', or 'install selected' button on the relevant sections as well as 'add to queue' ???

Nice idea, I try to make something work

Hi If you want to try out the latest bleeding development edition of Yum Extender 0.99 Then you can get it here.

http://linux.rasmil.dk/dnl/yumex-devel/centos4/099/

Installed/tested yumex-0.99.6-2.0.centos4.noarch.rpm from the above URL. Unlike the broken yumex-0.44-1.0.c4.noarch.rpm removed from the testing repo a month or so ago, this one seems functional. There are quite a few messages to stdout but nothing fatal. Tried repo configuration changes, package install/remove/update, and preference changes on package removal after install and everything seemed to work.

There are a couple of what look like minor GUI bugs to me in that check- marks on queued packages disappear when they are added, but this could be the intended behavior

It is the intended behavior at the moment.

• I'd just prefer that they remain checked

until the queue is processed. Also, it's not totally intuitive that one must click "Add to Queue" in addition to checking packages on the list. Perhaps going to the Queue should have the effect of adding the checked packages to the corresponding list.

I have tough about adding a graphic icon to the packages added to the queue.

Looks like a candidate for the testing repo to me.

Thanks for the package.

Thanks for testing and for the feedback, it is that kind of feedback that leads me in the right direction :-)
