is there a package manager as yumex available?
Hi,
I switched from Centos 7/KDE to Centos 8/gnome.
Now I'm missing urgently a packet manager,
which shows the installed repos and allows to see, which software is included, which is installed.
I want to have clearly arranged listings, as yumex provided them (with some limitations)
The Gnome ,Software Tool' which has been come with gnome is terrible!
Greetings,
Holger

Re: is there a package manager as yumex available?
I will second that. I am used to yumex with CentOS7 and would like it to work in CentOS8, or find something closely equivalent. The usual Software package manager does not make it easy to find anything. Is there an equivalent dnf package manager to yumex anywhere ? I know in Fedora there is dnfdragora, which is pretty good. Does it exist in CentOS8 ?

Code: Select all
# dnf search dnf
I'm not a complete idiot. There's still a few pieces missing.

Apart from gnome software or whatever it's called this week.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

I tried the gnome once. Once was enough.

Re: is there a package manager as yumex available?
I had forgotten how important yumex(or another gui package manager) was until today. The particular machine is seldom booted so there were tons of packages to update. Had a problematic package (oci-systemd-hook) blocking a straight yum update. So I spent a couple of hours doing the yum update x* to dance around the issue. We really need yumex for C8.

@trazomtg Please open new topic, don't hijack this one.
@Lazlow Unfortunately, yumex-dnf seems not to be under active development anymore. For now, the only alternative in Fedora is dnfdragora, but reviews it is getting are not good.

Re: is there a package manager as yumex available?
I have not tried that yet (first I heard of it) but to be fair those reviews are two years old. A package CAN come a long way in two years,
Edit: On the other hand it not being in the "standard" repos is not a good sign.

It would appear that dnfdragora is not currently in EPEL but perhaps using that, it could be requested via bugzilla.
