I find Fedora 6/7 update system not so user friendly as other linux
desktops I tested. Ubuntu and OpenSuse ask during the first update if
you would like to add the current user to privileged user list. All
users on this list don't need to type root password every time they do
an update.
This I believe is planned for Fedora 8 but simply setting up sudo
doesn't solve all the issues. See the policy kit integration spec in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/FeatureList
One thing I found really exceptional was Ubuntu's granual update.
You
can choose what types of updates you wan't the system to inform you of
- only security updates, system updates (desktop and related programs)
or all updates (all installed packages).
Is there any plan for Fedora 8 to be more user friendly in this
regard? I love Fedora Desktop more that any other linux desktop and
just would like to see it adopt the great ideas that others have
already implemented and then suprise them with some new features that
other destops don't have.
Fedora repositories already the necessary metadata in the repository
that classified updates in security, bug fixes or enhancements. This is
extensible. Pup used to display them till it ran into some hiccups and
was diabled temporarily. There is a yum security plugin recently added
to yum-utils which lets you install only security updates for example.
For other things file RFE's against pirut in
