UPDATE 2004-12-15
yumex 0.22 has been released.
It is developed by Tim Lauridsen after reading a post from FedoraForum.org. He also wanted to learn Python, a programming language and soon he learned he could use pyGTK, a Python wrapper for GTK applications and Glade to build a GUI application. This is how Yum Extender (yumex) has born.
To install the program, download yumex from http://linux.rasmil.dk/dnl/ for FC3 then..:
[tchung@localhost yumex]$ ls yumex-0.21-0.tla.1.FC3.noarch.rpm [tchung@localhost yumex]$ sudo rpm -Uvh yumex-0.21-0.tla.1.FC3.noarch.rpm Password: Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:yumex ########################################### [100%] [tchung@localhost yumex]$
To launch the program, you can either type..
[tchung@localhost yumex]$ yumex
OR
Here is an example how to install "flash-plugin" from flash repo using yumex:
1. Launch the program as described above and type your root password.
2. Yum Extender Main Window will open.
3. Scroll down and choose flash repo.
4. Choose "install" for Yum Command and type "flash-plugin" in Parameters.
5. Confirm your command by clicking on OK button.
6. Confirm your package by clicking on OK button.
7. Accept the agreement for flash-plugin by clicking on Accept button.
8. Installation has been completed. Make sure to press [ESC] key to exit.
