Not to be contentious, but because I want to know if I'm missing
anything : what is the benefit of running PackageKit, rather than "yum
clean all" followed by "yum update" at *my* convenience daily?
I don't do the "yum clean all" but I prefer manually doing updates when
it is convenient for me. Due to my work, I sometimes don't update for 3
or 4 days because of application issues.
