KYum

*******************************************
*** KYum is now hosted on Sourceforge! ***
*******************************************

KYum is a graphical user-frontend for the rpm package manager yum. You can view and modify repositories and yum.conf and control most of yum's operations with it in a convenient way.

Thanks to R. Wolters and J. Schmitt for their initial SPEC file versions and to all others who contributed to kyum's development in any way.

2005-07-24 V0.7.5 Steffen Offermann (steffen_ac@yahoo.com)

* Fix: Processes started within dialogs (e.g. to show
dependencies) were immediately killed due to a
forgotten line in the source.

* Actions view: The package list now has a title.


2005-07-23 V0.7.4 Steffen Offermann (steffen_ac@yahoo.com)

* Fix: Resizable dialogs now work as expected (thanks to
S. Pistone).

* Repository view: If possible, $basearch, $arch and $releasever
will be expanded to their actual values.

* Actions view: The context-menu item "Query Installed Version"
is now available in two versions: "short" and "extended" (using
"rpm -q" and "rpm -qi" respectively to retrieve the desired
information).

* Before removing installed packages, a list of packages that rely
on these packages is displayed and the user must confirm that
all these packages are safe to be uninstalled.


2005-07-19 V0.7.3 Steffen Offermann (steffen_ac@yahoo.com)

* Fix: Results of "Find" operation were only shown in the output
view, not in the list view.

* Fix: "Clean yum's cache" dialog: "yum -y clean" was executed
instead of "yum -y clean all".

* Added info about yum's confusing behavior regarding the clean
operation (only the cache for enabled repositories will be
cleaned).

* Added context-menu to package list view. Currently available
menu options are:

- remove from list
- show package dependencies
- query installed version (via rpm).



2005-07-12 V0.7.2 Steffen Offermann (steffen_ac@yahoo.com)

* Selecting or deselecting packages while installing/updating
packages is now possible without any side-effects.

* The package version number will be appended to the name of
the package when uninstalling installed packages.

* The confirmation dialog when yum.conf and repositories have
been saved can now be disabled.



2005-06-03 V0.7.1 Steffen Offermann (steffen_ac@yahoo.com)

* Fix: KYum crashed, when the specified folder for *.repo files
did not exist.

* Enabled "Install"-action in Groups view. But still no fancy
group support other than the limited one provided by yum.

* The editor for yum.conf now is a set of edit fields with
context help.

New options unknown to KYum cannot (yet) be added from within
KYum but will be preserved and are editable if they exist in
yum.conf (i.e. you can still add new items to yum.conf outside
KYum). These are mostly options that are rarely used or make no
sense with KYum.

* Option "reposdir" in yum.conf will now be recognized and used.

* When installing/updating selected packages, the respective packages
will be removed from the displayed list of available/updatable
packages if the installation was successful (i.e. yum's exit code
was 0).

* Added information about number and total download size of selected
packages.

* Selected (checked) packages are highlighted in the list.

* Actions tab / Groups tab: The command line of the executed command
is shown in the output window.

* The supplied file kyum_sysinfo.py is now installed in
$(kde_datadir)/kyum instead of $(kde_bindir).

* Made some colors and flags configurable.
