Hi Seth and all, A few troubles as I'm exploring Yum and yum-arch: - first CVS checkout doesn't seems to compile clean checkout, autoconf, ./configure leads to config.status: error: cannot find input file: po/Makefile.in then make stops at make: *** No rule to make target `keepalive.pyc', needed by `all'. Stop. - I think yum-arch should not overwrite the files if identical for example if a generated .hdr or header.info is the same as the existing one it should not change the original, nor its timestamp. The goal is to not destroy the caches (especially HTTP) just because refreshing archives is done from cron - and lastly a simple RFE: add a --exclude pattern option to yum-arch to skip indexing those files or subdirectories. It should be trivial and avoid forcing changes of server directory structures for people using "test" or "old" subtrees when publishing software. If I could get the first point solved, I may actually implement the two other points.
