Usability Pondering- Yum
by Ashok Gautham 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

When I use yum and install software, N is the default choice. I feel that from usability perspective, yes should be the default value. I wanted to know if there was any motive behind this strange choice. Or was it that the developers of yum felt people would use install instead of info or deplist? (However, I do feel that no must the be default as it is for removal of packages) Also, I feel that for a system, one version of a package that has been downloaded should be kept on the hard disk and could be overwritten by the next release of the package. If a user installs a package and then uninstalls it and finally reinstalls it, he should not be redownloading the package. I find that only the downloaded and yet-to-be-installed packages are present in /var/cache/yum/*. The manpage of yum tells me that they are not automatically removed. But I found them to be automatically deleted after they have been installed(Fedora11) On further probing, I found keepcache to be set to 0 in /etc/yum.conf. This contradicts with the manpage. --- Ashok `ScriptDevil` Gautham

Hi! All, Am surprised that the community is so quiet on the launch of a new release. Fedora 11 is supposed to be great, I have not seen it yet and am waiting to get hold of the media, but really guys, there should be some fanfare at each release. The ambassadors need to ensure that some noise is made in each city and that the media is made available. At least IMHO. Whats the point of a thriving community if this is not done. Cheers...Kishore --

I picked this off the Linux Manipur mailing list. If Fedora folks local to Linux Manipur see a good reason to get involved, I'd encourage that to happen. <http://www.e-pao.net/epSubPageExtractor.asp?src=education.GNU_Open_Source_L…>

It would be good if you can collect them personally. Please quote how many you need, so I can tell you whether I can fulfil your request or not. --- On Thu, 11/6/09, dilip khanolkar <dilipkhanolkar(a)fedoraproject.org> wrote: From: dilip khanolkar <dilipkhanolkar(a)fedoraproject.org> Subject: Re: [fedora-india] Leonidas To: fedora-india(a)redhat.com Date: Thursday, 11 June, 2009, 7:08 AM >Gaurav, >i am too an ambassador for india/mumbai if you can please send in >some medias would be really easy for me to distribute.

Hello,Who said the community is quiet. The members in person do contribute from their personal blogs, by mouth publicity etc. Also there are a number of meetings held during Launch known as Launch Parties in regions of the world.
