What if someone put a rpm-dir which is outside of the relative dir - then they baseurl path would need to be redefined. Can you give me another example. I may not be understanding your suggestion. > another suggestion to add possibility to > - install scr.rpms src rpms will be need to be handled differently imo and I don't think it makes sense to clutter up the yum binary-handling cli with commands for a mechanism to install src.rpms.
