"system-config-packages" a great name for few features.
absolutely correct,
we are missing since a very long time a true gui *package management tool*
which gives us all the possibilities from
rpm, (rpmbuild), up2date, yum, apt, ...
- add/remove new rhn-sources: yum, apt, dir, ...
- install/update/freshen/remove single/multiple packages via ftp, http,
dir, ...
- list/search installed/not-installed packages
- ...

eg.
# rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/your_packages*
it would be great if
redhat-config-packages
would handle this too

[... I would really like a gui package once again.
And I agree with you on wishing redhat-config-packages had these options

I'm working on a number of improvements to redhat-config-packages at the
moment, so I hope to address some of these issues in the near future.
Sorry that I don't have anything better for you at the moment. :)
Cheers,
Brent
