gnorpm, the replacement for glint, TOTALLY sucks. Big time. It is
a useless gohdamn crud of time-wasting unintuiative rubbish. Bad
decision for redhat to run with this thing and drop glint. I
haven't looked at the version of [g]norpm in 7.0b, but if it hasn't
improved considerably since 6.x then it is a waste of time and space
putting it there in the first place. (IMHO).
Please bring back glint - at least it was *useful*.
And yes, I tend to agree with your preference to the cli interface,
but gui interfaces do come in handy at times. But not with gnorpm -
I wish it WOULD g[n]o-away :)
Cheers
Tony
