Hi folks,
Newest daily is here. (sorry for two today but - well, I was thinking
about it a lot.)
Changes:
The config file now has variables.
You can do the following:
$basearch is replaced with the arch as returned by archwork.getArch()
- for example: if you're i686/i586/i486 it will return i386
$arch is replaced with your actual arch as returned by os.uname()[4]
$releasever is replaced with the result of the python equivalent of rpm
-q --qf %{version} somepkg
the pkg that is 'somepkg' is defined by the value of distroverpkg in
main - it defaults to redhat-release
so the below:
[base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever base - $basearch
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/
on my 7.3 pentium 4 with distroverpkg not defined in [main] becomes.
[base]
name=Red Hat Linux 7.3 base - i386
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/7.3/i386/
Does that make sense to everyone? Hell, does that make sense to anyone?
The first person to write that into something bordering on sensible for
the man page will get a gold star.
thanks - let me know when it breaks.
