| The things I don't like about this is that for VERY large
| transactions the % on the side is not terribly useful.
That's when it's important with feedback too.
| Some folks want to know which of the two functions is actually being
| performed: an install or an update.
Ok, I can fix that, e.g. like this:
Install : vixie-cron ########################################### [ 36%]
Update : dhcpv6_client ########################################### [ 40%]
| Also looking like rpm just tends to confuse people as to what
| program is actually being run.
I consider that a feature, people should rarely use rpm, this makes
the transition to use-yum-for-everything easier.
| What advantage do you see in laying things out like this? I do like
| the tabbing as you've done. It is cleaner for the display.
Not a real argument, however I was used to apt-get and plain rpm
before FC3 and wanted this look in yum too.
| I also grouped them this way b/c you can double click on emacs.i386 and
| have it in your clipboard and paste that onto a command line and get it
| all set. You can't do that for emacs-2:21.3-1.i386 b/c putting the epoch
| in the middle isn't a supported cli option.
Yeah, I did not know this was possible:
$ rpm -q glibc.i686 glibc.x86_64
glibc-2.3.3-27.1
glibc-2.3.3-27.1
Thanks, then this makes more sense.
