Re: Yum vs. PackageKit

On all machines running F14 with a usable GUI, PackageKit's gpk-
update-viewer (which I run daily, sometimes more) often tells me it sees
no updates, or only very few. I've been making it a practice, every time
it claims that, to run yum update.
Very often yum gets a great long list (anywhere from a dozen to
two or three hundred, the latter in cases of a laptop which hasn't been
booted for weeks).
Comments, please! Am I the only one seeing this??
PackageKit doesn't check for updates all that often. When I last looked
at it on F13, I couldn't configure it to look hourly, just daily or
weekly. So, perhaps it hasn't yet checked since you last turned it off....
