dexter11 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I don't know if it's really belongs here but I don't know a better place. Anyway.. some of you maybe noticed that the German Mandriva fansite has released a new easyurpmi-like webpage called smart-urpmi. The main differences are that you can see when the mirrors were updated and in the end it is able to save a script instead of the usual copy-paste (though it's still available) so it's more user-friendly. German only but the source is available of course. [moved from Workbench by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Very nice. This is really better than easy-urpmi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Shame it only lists german or austrian mirrors. Looks neat though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 last updated feature is really nice, but I'm suspicious that that script would take more time for me than the good old copy/paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I normally copy the contents into a file I'm creating with vi, write it, chmod +x on the file, and then ./filename to run it. Similar sort of process, just a bit more manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have Konsole always open and among others - one root session, so copy/paste is actually the fastest way for me. But anyway, I do it so rarely that even if MUB goes the script only way, it won't mean anything much, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I never found something wrong with copypasting ( via shift+ins ) to the root xterm from the browser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
