RHN Updater

[Andre Meyer]

The Red Hat Network Updater applet now supports yum (but not apt),
fortunately. However, it only shows upgradeable packages and not new
packages or packages that are not yet installed. This should become a
standard feature. Before Fedora I used Synaptic with great success and
it work easily and reliably (no longer with FC1).

A related issue is that still the packages offered are rather few and
come out very late. For example, Mozilla is now at version 1.6, but
1.4.1 is the latest that can be installed via rpm/yum/apt on FC1. What
will we see as improvements regarding de/installation options and
procedures in FC2?

comments are welcome
