I have made a preview release of the next version of Yum Extender.

It is not complete yet, but i am getting closer

You can find some rpms here:

But remember this is a very early release, so dont expect it to be rock solid yet.

EDIT: Fedora 11 RPM’s added too (Working with Presto now )

I have for a while been working on creating the future version of Yum Extender, most of the code is rewritten from scratch.

Here is a little screencast of the current look.

The look might change in the future

I agree with what Seth writes here.

All people will never agree and they should not allways do, dicusstion are good,  but people working on a bigger cause like Fedora, should communicate with other members of the community in a respectful way.

I know that it is not a perfect world and people are not perfect, but at least we could try to be respectful to each other

Still feeling high after the great concert with Tim Christensen (DK), my wife and I went to last night, The warmup was Mike Viola (US) was a nice surprice too.

Yes, i voted too.
Both in the Fedora Voting system and now on the planet too

Dear Lazyweb

I am thinking about buying a Wii for the familly this chrismas, but im a little unsure what games to buy,

I was thinking of the following ones.

• Zelda
• Mario Carts
• Mario Universe

Is there any other cool games out there i need to own

It is my 40 years birthsday today, not as hard is i expected, it feels just like 39 or 35

All 3 kids are sick, it is raining hard and the was not any water this morning, Nice start of a new decade

I had planned to go on chrismas shopping with my wife, but it has to wait to another day, we will stay home and take care of the sick kids.

Here is the proof of then global warming !

This is what sad looks like.

This is what sorry looks like

This gonna HURT.

I have be working on beating the skip broken functionallty in yum in better shape. The was a lot cases were it has to give up. One of the big problems debugging the code is that,  repo inconsistencies where skip broken is useful, don’t last long and can be hard to reproduce and retest.  So i had been working to make some unit tests in yum,  to reproduce the found issues and make the debug output from skip broken a lot better, so it is easier to see what goes wrong.

The current yum in rawhide (3.2.20) is in very good shape and the upstream 3_2_x branch is even better.

If you run into some situation where ‘–skip-broken’ bails out, then please checkout

I have just released Yum Extender 2.0.5, not a lot of changes, but a lot of translation updates, thank to all translators and the transiflex maintainers to make it easy for the translator to submit translations upstream.

It is the first release for a long time and the 2.0.x code base is quite stable at the moment and there will only be made bug fixes to the 2.0.x series, no new fancy stuff.

I have started to work on the next generation of yumex, it will be redesigned from scratch, because i want to solve one of the mayor problems in yumex, that the gui get stuck when there is no callback from yum in a long periode of time. so i has started to design a client/server based yum backend there can run in a separete child process and communicate with the gui frontend, using a generic interface. This separation has a lot of benefit and will make it a lot easier to maintain the gui and make it work with different versions of yum or even other package managers.
