Hey,
i seem to be on a topic spree today.. anyway.. i rarely use pup because i want to see the download speeds for the packages and want to abort them if needed + i want to see any possible errors that occur.
Unix tools should keep quiet unless an error occurs. If yum fails for some reason, you should know, either through an e-mail or by some other means.
If you need to watch yum to make sure it works, you should consider filing a bug to make it more noisy on errors.
now i just did a update and i noticed that pup isn`t refreshing itself to see if there are newer updates or if another program took care of the updates..
pup won't notice a yum update. This needs to be bugzillaed.
i know that you can manually refresh pup but wouldn`t it be better to auto refresh pup once every 5 minutes?
Security updates are released every 1440 minutes (daily), Checking for updates every five minutes is overkill.
and a pup suggestion.. could it be possible to show the yum output in pup (with a expand arrow)?
pup is aimed at making security updates simple for non-technical people. A lot of technical people seem to want to make pup into a graphical yum, which means we will later need yet another program that aims to be aimed at non-technical people.
this is (probably) my last topic today. more bug hunting tomorrow.
