Two different problems here: 1. gpk-application does not search the summary field but only the package name. We cannot fix this here, please file a bug against gnome-packagekit if there isn't one already. 2. The summaries for the backintime packages are not really good and should be reworked to contain the word "backup". Mmm, I was talking about the latter problem. About the former, gpk-application can search in the summary, but it isn't the default setting and, first of all, if you don't know how to change that setting you have to search in the web to understand it or to use Yum Extender. I'm going to report that too. acceptable for you?

I don't know if it could be confusing to call it a "simple backup system" since there's the other utility sbackup which has it as its own name...! What's the difference between the two? I haven't tried backintime but I'm using sbackup, I think the main difference is that the former lets you retrieve past versions of the files so you can use it when your computer isn't broken, whereas the latter makes a backup and lets you restore all the files. Am I wrong? I don't know if it could fit: "an easy to use backup system featuring file versioning" It doesn't sound good, so I hope you have a better idea! too long for a summary incl. KDE/GNOME frontend "Simple backup system" is a pretty generic description that is taken from upstream's descripton. I have to admit that it overlaps a little with sbackup, but sbackup stands for "Simple backup suite" and suite != system. How about ".... a simple backup utility" or ".... backup program"? simple backup tool http://backintime.le-web.org/ No better than a citation from its site... Moreover, whereas suite != system for a compiler (I mean that "system" could be intended as suite of programs), tool != suite for a human too!!! I'm joking, at this point that could be OK! backintime-0.9.24-3.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/backintime-0.9.24-3.fc11 backintime-0.9.26-1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/backintime-0.9.26-1.fc11 backintime-0.9.26-1.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/backintime-0.9.26-1.fc10 backintime-0.9.26-1.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository.
