Utimately adding this logic to the mirroring script is what the dude did and it's not hard to do :) Dude! Though I still see utility of having yum-arch 'do the right thing' when asked to (not by default) which would make things a bit simpler for scripting and also for people who might wanna just create and empty archives easily. There's also the case where should yum's headers/ contents change, then all scripts would need to be tweaked to account for it as opposed to yum-arch jsut seamlessly making the change for me everywhere :) Minimally, I think Seth's idea to have a specific exit code for bailing due to no rpm's is valuable jsut for writing more exact scripts. -n -- ---------------------------------------- nathan hruby <nathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> computer services specialist uga drama & theatre reality is a moving target ----------------------------------------
