I saw that suggestion in the anaconda thread, and I'm pretty sure it's a terrible idea to have another magic character. > > Also are you sure you want to keep the feature that is display_order? > > Can maybe drop it and just say for anaconda UI purposes it follows file > ordering. Well I was assuming just using lexicographic order instead. Is there a need to change the order (to always have minimal at the top or something)? If so I guess just keep display_order, but given how we never use it for groups and that users don't expect it I thought it might be a good idea to not carry it forwards. _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
