I really do not understand what people are getting excited about. I have no
particular expectation of yum because I have no experience with it on which
to base those expectations.
I do have experience with apt-get _in debian_ and yes, I did get it thoroughly
confused when I mixed and matched sources to compensate for Woody's
shortcomings (but it also allowed me to fix it once I hit on the right
solution).
_I_ have seen people on this list say they prefer apt-get; it's clear a lot
don't. I intend to find out about yum, but until I have some experience with
it it don't have any particular expectations.
Hopes, wishes - those are different. I hoped it would look at my DVD. I wish
it would look at my DVD.
For the moment, I have nothing better than the find command I mentioned a
while back, and the hope I can resolve dependancies.
