From man yum.conf:
debuglevel
debug level. valid numbers are 0-10. default is 2.
errorlevel
debug level. valid numbers are 0-2. default is 2.
From man yum:
-d [number]
Sets the debugging level to [number] - turns up or
down the
amount of things that are printed.
-e [number]
Sets the error level to [number] 0 - 10. 0 means
print only
critical errors about which you must be told. 1 means
print all
errors, even ones that are not overly important. 1+ means
print
more errors (if any) -e 0 is good for cron jobs.
So what are the real debug and error limits?
Reminds me the joke about the 10 kinds of people - those who know binary
and those who dont.
I think the limits and defaults should appear in both manuals, or if
only in one of them, a reference should be inserted to the other manual,
like: "For more info see man yum.conf"
I also found that there is no proper error checking for debug level and
error level. You can run yum -d 100 or yum -e 100 without getting any
error or usage message.
