So I thought I'd mention that one feature that will be in 3.2.29¹ (and is in the current rawhide² rebuilds for Fedora/etc.) is "only useful output, search" which should be easier to remember. Eg. % yum search yum plugin Loaded plugins: aliases, keys, noop, presto, ps, security, tmprepo, verify =========================== N/S Matched: yum, plugin =========================== PackageKit-yum-plugin.x86_64 : Tell PackageKit to check for updates when yum : exits anaconda-yum-plugins.noarch : Installation-related yum plugins yum-dellsysid.x86_64 : YUM plugin to retrieve the Dell System ID yum-langpacks.noarch : Langpacks plugin for yum yum-plugin-aliases.noarch : Yum plugin to enable aliases filters [...] yum-presto.noarch : Presto plugin for yum yum-rhn-plugin.noarch : RHN support for yum Full name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything. ...full output elided, but it's only 53 lines (as against "yum search all yum plugin" at 1,623 lines ... which is the 3.2.28 behaviour). ¹ http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.29 ² http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/james/yum-rawhide/ -- James Antill -- [email protected] http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.29 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching
