"Yummy is a Yum repository manager that aims to make locating and installing Linux software repositories easier. Yum itself is a software package distribution, update and installation system. Yummy is at the moment targeted only for users of the Fedora Project Linux distribution."
Did you mean to call "yummir" "yummier" ??
I'm confused... Are these two apps the same thing? It looks like "yummy" has a GTK interface, that looks interesting... However I like command-line for my updates/low-level stuph.

I've been working on a program to manage the lists of repositories, and the associated mirror servers in /etc/yum.conf. I call it yummir. It polls a server for information on repositories and their mirrors, and then uses that information to place into /etc/yum.conf.
For example, to update yum.conf with the latest set of mirrors:
yummir update
Or, to add the macromedia flash repository do:
yummir add macromedia
Currently, I'm only publishing repository information for Fedora. I'm managing the list manually, and will shortly be working on tools that automatically find out if a mirror is up to date and publishes new lists based on that. Only a Fedora ix86 repository list is available, but it should be easy to publish more information.
Please check it out and let me know what you think.
It's available at:
