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.

Information on the testing repository including usage is available at
http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories

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?
I will check it out.
(2) Just a wish list. I would like to see the "Select All" and
"Deselect All" buttons like earlier versions in addition to (or
instead of) "Add All" and "Remove All".
The package selection work a little different in yumex-2.0, than in yumex-1.2.

In 1.2:
You have to first select the packages and the add them to the queue.

in 2.0:
The package are added to the queue when you click on the selection checkbox, and reversed if you click again.
So 'Select all' & 'Deselect all' don't make a lot of sense, they are replaced by
add all:  Add all the packages,  you see in the current view to the queue.
Remove all: Remove all the packages, you see in the current view.
The button make most use when used when with updates.

(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
repos with priorities etc.
I don't know what repolist is, but seeing the priorities in the repo view is a nice idea, i will put it on the TODO list.
