Don't recommend that to others. If you want to script to yum you should use either of the following: - repoquery - yum's python api The yum python interface for working with the comps file is actually pretty straightforward as an example #!/usr/bin/python import yum my = yum.YumBase() my.setCacheDir() for g in my.comps.groups: print g.groupid core = my.comps.return_group('core') for pkg in core.packages: print pkg lots to explore in there - I recommend using ipython to help you explore the interface. -sv _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
