Fedora Utils for Getting things done
I've made a simple script which uses zenity for its GUI. It is based on my previous Fedora postinstall script. It is similar to AutoPlus and easyLife. But there are many differences, such as, - You can select many items and Fedora Utils will do one by one.
- It supports command-line arguments for most tasks, so you can use it in scripts too.
- It has auto-update built-in, so that you always run the latest.
- The downloaded files are saved automatically, so you need not download them again.
- System files are backed up before modification, so reverting is easier.
- Built-in logging mode make debugging easier.
- The ongoing operations are described more precisely.
- It won't try to redo already done things, saving from loss of time.
- Fedora Utils can add your username to sudoers file, but only when it detects that you executed it as normal user.
