IMHO it's beats the pants off of yumex. Give it a whirl! Ric Thanks Ric. I had planned to give 'smart' a whirl when I install Fedora 7. Not that the version/core number matters; its just that I have so many small and large learning curves over the next 6 weeks that I have given myself to climb. A new install of fedora seemed like a good benchmark to add new applications to try out. By the way, does 'smart' have a good manual. 'man' yum and yumex --no-help, are pretty rudimentary if you want to go deeper than just trial and error.
Unfortunately, the documentation is a work in progress. Home/development page is http://labix.org/smart . Most recent release is at version 0.5. To get started install the following packages: smart smart-gui smart-update ksmarttray (if you use KDE) fedora-package-config-smart You will end up with smart configured for Fedora repositories. 3rd party repositories are left up to you.
Regards Bill
