This is repository contains Yum Extender. A graphical package tool for maintain rpm & flatpaks packages.

It is designed with a more modern look & feel using gtk4, libadwaita and are using dnf5daemon & libflatpak for package actions

It is primary developed to use in Fedora, but can be used in other rpm based distros, there have recent versions of gtk4, libadwaita & dnf5 It tracks the development of gtk4, libadwaita and dnf5 close, so it is not at good cadidate for long lived releases like RHEL.

History

This is the 3. generation of Yum Extender.

• The first generation was working with yum back in the days.
• The second generation (yumex-dnf) was working with early version of dnf (version 2 - 4) using dnf-daemon
• The current generation started as a re-design using gtk4 & libadwaita, using a more flexible backend with support for both dnf4 & dnf5, but the latest version only support dnf5 and is using the dnf5daemon dbus API for all rpm actions.
