From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051018 Epiphany/1.8.2 Description of problem: I like to keep an eye on which package are coming from which yum repositories when updating: "Core" vs "Extras vs self-built from SRPM packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pup-0.1.4-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run pup 2. Observe cute little doggy Actual Results: "Updates Available" window contains long list of packages, with no indication of where they're coming from Expected Results: Suggest the list should be a tree view, with top level nodes representing the repos from which the packages are being grabbed, with the tree fully expanded by default. Additional info:
Lots of useful information is getting printed to stdout (the repository, the size etc) which might well be relevant to the GUI.
Tree views are disasters for this sort of thing. Ultimately -- why do you care where the software is coming from? I can see it _maybe_ being something that's worth displaying in the details but not in the default view. The default view is actually going to be changing more to be along the lines of "Updated evolution packages available", "Updated fontconfig packages available" -- at first, the grouping is going to be by srpm, but hopefully we'll get to where we can actually use the actual update information instead from the update system. And then rawhide and repos without that metadata will fallback to the srpm based version.

Speaking about details, it will be nice to get information about the size of packages. It is especially true for anaconda as well because there is no way to know the size of package before the installation. For example: gimp-2.2.10 --- 10MB.

And with FC6, we'll have much better update details thanks to lmacken
