I'm definitely not thinking of merging RPM metadata here. I think that should be done only by installing packages. So the only way that makes sense to me is to be able to lay down a base archive and then use RPM to install packages on top of the base archive, and I'd think that would be an edge case to be handled by post-install scripts. (Otherwise, we would have to layer backends and ask (I presume) the yuminstall back end to handle this case.) This seems like more complexity than it's worth. My multiple tarball use case was that the additional archives layered on top of the base archive do not contain packaged software. The most obvious case to my mind is config files. (I expect to post code for more concrete discussion early next week, BTW.) _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
