Description Kevin Verma 2007-01-13 08:51:28 UTC

Description of enhancement:

Yum on command line works excellent. However multiple operations, 
and user errors fend of an everyday user to either look for a GUI 
program or script yum actions. 

It is desirable to have a yum command line plugin, which will open 
up a yum prompt or something , example as below:

yum> install firefox

Any of the meta data preloading would be done prior the user is given 
a 'yum' prompt.

Additionally with integration of more or less pager for long list view & 
reviews. While the usage of the pagers can be optional and by choice for 
yum-cmd-cli session

yum has a command line option:
yum shell

try it out, it's even documented.
