[Test-Announce] Fedora 22 Alpha Release Candidate 3 (RC3) Available Now!

[Adam Williamson]

As per the Fedora 22 schedule [1], Fedora 22 Alpha Release Candidate 3 
(RC3) is now available for testing.

No, you didn't miss RC1 and RC2 - RC1 was aborted when we found a new 
blocker soon after it was started, and the RC2 compose failed due to 
some kind of conflict with the RC1 process. So RC3 is the first 
completed compose since TC8.

We are aiming to complete the tests today and run a second Go/No-Go 
meeting at 14:30 UTC (that's about six hours from now) to give us a 
chance to ship RC3 on schedule if it turns out to pass the testing. So 
please, help with the tests if you can, and if you run into any 
blockers, be sure to file them and nominate them so we don't miss them!

Hi,
I tried to find YUM via using the Gnome installer, as it was possible in F21. Didn't
find YUM, I would like
to install additional packages using i.e. yum. I installed and booted F22 RC3 workstation
x86_64.

Er...yum is a command line app. It doesn't have a menu entry. Note the 
'default' console package manager in F22 is dnf now, though many folks 
are still using yum.

Hi,
as I know dnf is also a command line tool, if I don't use a command line tool every
day,
I always have to use the man pages. In don't find a tool with similar features like
YUM,
for none experts in F22. The icon called "Software" in Gnome, has not sufficient
features
to do all, what was possible with the "icon" yum.
Anyway I can use yum and dnf as command line line tool, as I sometimes did in F21,
but it's more uncomfortable work, compared  to F21 and to MS Windows.
Kind Regards

Can you tell a bit more about that icon?

What did it do? Yum in package "yum" is a command-line tool, and "dnf"
is
very similar. Perhaps you refer to "yumex" instead? That's graphical
front-end for Yum.

If you still know how to use "yum", you can use it to search for package
tools other than gnome-software.

[Joerg Lechner]

I don't know how to express correctly in computer English. As I used YUM previously
from Fxx to F21,  for installation of YUM I went 
to the software tool in Gnome, put into the search line "yum" and then install.
Afterwards there
was an icon "YUM" amongst all the other application icons, which are displayed,
when You hit the "Aktivitaeten" 
Button (F22 German language version), and then the icon at the bottom there. I could use
this simple way to display the yum menue in the window and in not
too complicated cases it was not neccessary to go via command line. 
In F22 it is not possible even to find YUM in the Gnome Software Tool, but there is Yum
(or Yumex, I don't know the difference) as command line tool.

 From the command line as root, can  run yum:
*# yum update
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, refresh-packagekit
No packages marked for update
# *

I assume you know to use *su -* to get into root from a terminal?

For details on how to run yum, type in *man yum*, either from either a 
normal user account, or your from root.

I run yum from the command line, as I get better diagnostics and have 
more control.  One can also modify its config file */etc/yum.conf*, or 
individual repo's in the directory */etc/yum.repos.d*


Cheers,
Gavin

aarghhh!  ignore the asterisks, if any show up.  I tried to format 
things to highlight them, but I noticed when I looked at my posting on 
the list that asterisks had been inserted.  It might be the case that 
you don't see any asterisks! and that it is just my software...

Reread Joerg's posting, then noticed he obviously knew about running yum 
from the command line - oh well!  However, I would still recommend him, 
and others, to use the command line as it provides far better control 
and superior diagnostics (especially when things go wrong)!

Gavin

Really? Maybe your memory plays tricks on you. Here with F21 (x86_64) it
only displays "Yum Extender" (aka "yumex"), the graphical tool.
Same happens when using GNOME Shell "Type to search..." at the top.

Sounds unusual. Yum in package "yum" does not include anything that would
have the tools displays it there.

>  I could use this simple way to display the yum menue in the window 
What do you mean with that? There is no such thing.
Even with Alt+F2 execution of programs, GNOME Shell does not manage to start
"yum", because it needs a terminal program to be started within.

Again, the Software Tool in F21 only finds "Yum Extender". I haven't
checked whether it still does that for F22 (but I can do that).
