Hi Everyone, Yum 2.0 is out - this release is called 'yes, I know I skipped 1.99'. :) Yum is an automatic dependency resolving tool for rpm. It can install, remove, and update rpm-based systems easily. more info here: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/ New features in yum 2.0: o --version - actually outputs a version string! o --installroot=/some/chroot - lets you do chroot'd installs via yum o tolerant mode added for the command line arguments for package transactions (read the docs, it'll make more sense) o per-server excludes o gzip timestamp nullification implemented - to make all the rsync'ers happy o changed yum list layout to include epochs and repo A lot of bugs have been fixed in this release - the major reason why I labeled it 2.0 Tarball: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.0/yum-2.0.tar.gz srpm for red hat linux 9 or something close: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.0/yum-2.0-1.src.rpm rpm for red hat linux 9 or something close: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.0/yum-2.0-1.noarch.rpm Let me know if it breaks or if I missed something stupid requiring an immediate fix. -sv
