Hi, I just tried out yum for the first, nice work! However, I already found a couple of things that could IMO be improved/fixed: 1) I built yum 0.9.4 from the RH8 source RPM, there doesn't seem to be a binary RH8 RPM available. Is this on purpose? 2) The RH8 source RPM has RH 7.3 defaults in /etc/yum.conf ! 3) IMHO it would probably be better not to enable yum on any runlevels, but just install it with chkconfig. "chkconfig: - 50 01" should do the trick in /etc/init.d/yum. Especially considering item 2) above... 4) HTTP Keep-Alive would be very welcome. That'd speed up downloading the .hdr files a lot, especially on first run. Too bad I'm not that familiar with Python, otherwise I'd try to implement that myself. Thoughts?
