Hello list,
Recently I installed CentOS 7 on a workstation at a lab I work at and have quickly become fond of an ncurses package called NetworkManager-tui. I tried searching for this on Fedora 20 and yum reports the package cannot be found. The package is in Fedora Rawhide, but installing it that way would require updating nearly the entire distribution and it's not worth it.

1. Will this package be released on Fedora 20? Is this going to be a Fedora 21 only release? If you are going to release it on Fedora 20 when?
2. Is there a way I could use Docker to install this and let it manage my network connections on my host from a container?
3. Is Fedora 21 stable enough that I should just upgrade and not worry about it?
Also, wanted to reach out and say that CentOS 7 is the best distribution I've ever used and I'm counting down the days to the Fedora 21 release.
Best, Alex GS

I assume this requires a newer NetworkManager, and such update in Fedora 20 would be against the stable updates policy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy You'll have to upgrade to Fedora 21 if you want to use this feature.

I doubt that's possible (it would be a security issue if that was possible).

Fedora 21 Alpha was not released yet. It works okay here, but don't take my word on it.
Also I think you picked the wrong list, this doesn't seem to be a desktop/workstation thing and more of a Server or Base thing.

If you enable the Gnome 3.12 repository for Fedora 20 you should get a newer version of NetworkManager, which includes tui: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/rhughes/f20-gnome-3-12/

Well, thank you, that suggestion solved the problem. It only installed two additional packages. Having this tool is really useful because being able to edit connections on a TTY console or when using a terminal oriented environment like i3.
