<pre wrap="">Hi,
yumex-2.0 is now available in the testing repository for centos-5, this is the
first stable release from Tim, meant for the EL5 platform. As always, please
leave feedback so we might be able to move this into centos-extras.

<pre wrap="">Installed on both i686 and x86_64. I have some notes about this version.
(1) I unselected the autorefresh option in Preferences. This changed the
line "autorefresh=" in /etc/yumex.conf from "1" to "no". However,
upon next start, refreshing still takes place. Could someone test on
this?

Tested on i386. Can't discern any difference in behavior with the
following:
autorefresh = 1
autorefresh = no
autorefresh = 0
No autorefresh entry in /etc/yumex.conf

<pre wrap="">Would be nice if yumex made a backup of the config file as opposed to

Yumex uses some yum API to write back the config changes to disk, but
there have be some changes in the yum api<br>
to make it better and don't write all the default options back to disk.
But that don't help on a EL5 system, there use an older yum release.<br>
I will find a way around this issue.<br>

<pre wrap="">(2) Just a wish list. I would like to see the "Select All" and
"Deselect All" buttons like earlier versions in addition to (or

(3) When repolist gets out of testing, will it be possible to
integrate it in yumex? It will be very nice to be able to see all

/etc/yumex.profiles.conf does not end with a newline.
The "Group View" check box doesn't seem to to do much. Noticed that
"Development/Development Tools" was not checked despite the fact that I
have extensive development tools installed. Toggling the check put an
icon on the line, but added nothing to the queue to process. On
restarting the box is again un-checked.

If a group is installed or not, depends on how the groups are defined
in comps.xml.<br>
all mandatory & default packages defined in a group has to be
installed for the group to be installed.<br>
I will check it a little deeper in CentOS 5 to see if it works as
expected.<br>
