ok so here is what I did.

I added a new flag to yum-arch (-l) which makes yum-arch use symlinks of
rpms if it finds them. The reason I didn't make it the default is b/c I
make use of it ignoring symlinks by default b/c otherwise I'll see a
bunch of dupe pkg lists (has to do with the hierarchy of my installation
tree)

anyway - this way you get what you wanted w/just a small shell script
modification.


yum-arch -l dir

that will do it.
its been checked into cvs - the next daily and/or release will have it.

speaking of releases I'd like to plan on putting out 0.9.3 this weekend.
I want to sift through a few more patches and get them put in first.

thanks
