Yum's awesome, just giving you guys a quick heads up :) I knew there had to be something better than the restricted/not extensible nature of up2date/rhn and the shear layer of cruft that is apt for rpm. I've found the distribution solution to the software we'll soon be releasing. Question: is there an easy way to mirror an HTTP yum repository? I can't seem to figure out the proper wget options. Or could this be a yum-arch task? Idea: Should yum also use a /etc/yum.d/*.conf directory like structure in addition to its current yum.conf file? Benefits: - RH seems to be doing this to a lot in their config files - applications/packagers may simply provide rpms representing their repositories. eg: yum-yum, yum-freshrpms, yum-someapplication - this way, you could have repositories of repositories/mirror sites Lesser idea: should gpgcheck=1 not be the default for base/updates, with a nice error message if they're missing the key? Seems a little more secure. -- // Aleksander.Demko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ademko@xxxxxx scopira.org //
