Perhaps something like: This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program. Launch it via the 'yum' command. For more information, you may read the 'Managing Software with yum' paper available at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/. ? Oh, my. I never read down far enough to see the footer. Luke, thanks for the catch, we definitely want to steer people to yum. How about these changes: ## This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program. Use 'yum update package-name' at the command line. For more information, refer to 'Managing Software with yum,' available at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/. ## When we have a yum GUI we feel good about, we'll want to put that in as well. Yumex and Kyum and are in Fedora Extras now. The newer versions of Yumex dont do screen scrapping anymore. While the UI of these programs might not be where we want them to be, I believe they do deserve atleast a passing mention but not necessarily a strong recommendation. Any suggestions? I think it's simpler to have the update instructions for Core only involve Core packages, so as not to make it truly confusing. ICBW, though. Yeah, we need packages to be in Core to rely upon people having them by default. A good place to put mentions of Yumex, Kyum, and others would be in the 'Software Management with yum' or a related document. Since this should be an infrequently changing template, it's only worth changing when we have a milestone such as the deprecation of up2date for Fedora, or the advancement of a yum GUI into Core. Are we ready to make this template modification ? Has up2date been *officially* deprecated for Fedora yet ? Additional note. Instead of directly pointing to the Yum document, you can provide a reference to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/yum instead. I think the docs project document is better suited for the announcement than the wiki page. How about this: --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with 'yum'. Use 'yum update package-name' from a terminal as root. More information is available online: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/ - Managing Software with yum http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/yum - yum introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------- (In reply to comment #2) > ## > This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program. Use 'yum update > package-name' at the command line. For more information, refer to 'Managing > Software with yum,' available at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/. > ## The up2date references have been removed from the email and the above message has been added. Thanks guys. |
