I gave a talk on yum at fudcon. It was fairly well attended. I decided
to preempt the 'yum sucks' portion of the talk by putting up a white
board with 'yum problems' written across it then asking for what
problems people have with yum.
Here's the list I got, some of them were suggested by people with less
than complete sincerity:
- it's not apt :)
Can be fixed with electro chock treatment of the users saying this :)
- no bittorrent support :)
This is really bad, yum can't download and use ISO files directly and
can't be used to get illegal copies of adult movies. :)
Same solution as above. :)
- no localization
This should be a priority, first step is to move the i18n from cli to
base, so we can translate base strings.
- the output is either too much or too little (depending on whom you ask
and what time of day it is)
Some work of how the logging is done and controlled, to many levels.
somthing like :
yum --silent : No output
yum -v : Extra verbosity
yum -vv : Debug verbosity.
I like the python logging, but this
self.verbose_logger.log(logginglevels.DEBUG_1,"Some Debug message")
hurts my eyes.
