I will, I'd like to KNOW how it works better, not just thief some working code. I know the anaconda stuff does it but I want to be comfy with it first. just b/c this is a learning-experience for me :) > > 4.

The server-side would have to be passed a lot of information. This is closer to what current does for up2date and I'm not sure how you'd go about deciding that part. The whole point of yum was to offload the the dep calculation to the client and make the server-side load almost nonexistent - just file services. In what situation are you seeing slowness? I've done some profiling on yum and I know where the slow parts are, I think, can you give me an example? > I think what lilo.py, grubcfg.py, checkbootloader.py and bootloader.py=20 > already doesn't need for yum cause new RH kernel* packages add records in= =20 > configs in %postinstall scripts ah - but they don't make the new kernels the default - thats what the grub stuff is for. the lilo stuff, I agree should go away in the not-so-distant future - but I think keeping the grub stuff to move the kernel around is wise. > > 10. maybe a daemon that runs and polls for updates throughout the day - > > no more reliance on cron :) >=20 > It's not a good idea. > In current state yum doesn't need any bloated servers etc. for work. *boggle* didn't you just say you wanted a server a few lines up??? :) > I start to code this but drop it. > We need to make some of UI abstraction - then it's realy easy to write. > I mean something like UI class with methods like > showPackagesList(...) > askYesOrNo(...) > etc. > I can do it if you like idea. I think the work for i18n will help this some too - b/c I'll have to playing with the strings anyway. I just need to learn more about how this should be done, really get my head around it. >=20 > Once again - server side dependencs :) once again - what do you mean? -sv --=-2IAWg2dVJXqHFsV6jfSU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA9bEd91Aj3x2mIbMcRAhjTAKCbjhkGJKeBqAWTj963zHWjmtnl2wCfQy3s jBMfxResaxdufCTgEOp/tW8= =TMTk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-2IAWg2dVJXqHFsV6jfSU--
