I know you can hunt down the urpmi skip list and edit it manually <br>or downgrade through the cli but neither is beginner friendly.. Also the information in easy to read tabs you can see the full dependencies, what if replaces what it needs.. Again that info is retrievable from the cli...gui not so much.<br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Maarten Vanraes" <maarten.vanraes@gmail.com><br>To: mageia-discuss@mageia.org<br>Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 1:29:01 PM<br>Subject: Re: [Mageia-discuss] GUI tools<br><br>Op zondag 19 september 2010 18:30:07 schreef André Salaün:<br>> Le Sun, 19 Sep 2010 18:14:43 +0200<br>> <br>> Maarten Vanraes <maarten.vanraes@gmail.com> a écrit:<br>> > Op zondag 19 september 2010 17:57:54 schreef Jan Ciger:<br>> > > Hello,<br>> > > <br>> > > On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 5:54 PM, Tux99 <tux99-mga@uridium.org> wrote:<br>> > > > Lawrence, I can't speak for the devs but my understanding is that<br>> > > > Mageia will keep everything that makes Mandriva unique and great,<br>> > > > which IMHO means more than anything else urpmi and the draktools.<br>> > > > <br>> > > > If Mageia starts to change these things then it will quickly alienate<br>> > > > many users.
