Hi all, working through yumcmd with func over the last couple of days, I've written an 'install' method, so as skvidal suggested I'm posting it here. This is the first time I've worked with yum using python so it may be a tad rough around the edges. At the moment the intent is to have a yumcmd.install method that takes a 'pattern' argument, which is split on whitespace. I'm not entirely sure what should be returned from such a method. Ideally I'd like to see it return 1. The list of packages successfully installed (including deps) or/and possibly 2. Those that could not be installed because they are already there! with optional args to suppress output (kind of like yum does when run manually) I'm not sure how to approach the returned info parts (perhaps yum.tsInfo.pkgdict?). The current (working) version of yumcmd.py is attached for those more expert to rip it to bits :) be nice :)
Not a bad first start. The hard part about the yumcmd module is that for func it has to go Lowest-common-denominator to work with various yum's.
I've been thinking that maybe we need to move the yumcmd module into yum itself so that the version you have is for the version of yum you have.
but in general every version should implement: install, update, remove, check-updates, list -sv _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list
