I have made a build of the current development branch 1.9.x.
It is a total rewrite of Yum Extender from scratch.
Download it here
Screenshoots here
What is working:
- All the basic stuff showing packages.
- Adding/removing packages from the queue.
- Processing the Queue (installing/updating/removing packages)
- Show packages by different categories.
- Group view (show, install, remove groups)
- Search and filtering in package view.
- quick add feature in queue view
- type 'install foo' to add the foo package to the queue for installation
- type 'remove foo' to add the foo package to the queue for removal.
- multi packages can be added at once (install foo bar)
- wildcard are allowed (install foo* will add all packages staring with foo)
What is not implemented yet.- No repository selection ( work on the repos enabled in repo files)
- No Command line options.
- Most menu stuff are not implemented yet.
- No Preferences.
How does it compare to the current version (1.2.x) of yumex.- It is much faster.
- Adding packages to the queue is much easier, just click on the package checkbox to add/remove packages to the queue.
- More responsive (All mayor work tasks in running in a background thread).
- Better error handling.
- Faster and easier group handling.
- Better and better package searching.
Give it a try and give med some feedback.
