This seems to fix the case of not finding the -devel unless specified. How about adding some formatting changes? Indent the "Server:" lines. How about overwriting the Finding/Downloading/Finding/Resolving lines upon successful completion (a "<CR> new text " rather than "new text <CR><NL>")? Is there any chance of maintaining the time stamps on the files being downloaded? I use other programs to download files that use the size as well as the date modified to determine whether a file is new. Yum's current functionality of not setting the correct time hoses this up. I currently use wget and ncftp to maintain my updates repository. -Paul [root@violet 17:49:42 rh90]# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 yum list updates Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 - Base Server: Freshrpms packages for Red Hat Linux 9 Server: Red Hat Linux 9 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Name Arch Version Repo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kdebase i386 6:3.1-15 updates kdebase-devel i386 6:3.1-15 updates [this list was trimed] [root@violet 17:57:07 rh90]# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 yum -C upgrade kdebase Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 - Base Server: Freshrpms packages for Red Hat Linux 9 Server: Red Hat Linux 9 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Finding obsoleted packages Resolving dependencies .Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [update: kdebase 6:3.1-15.i386] I will install/upgrade these to satisfy the dependencies: [deps: kdebase-devel 6:3.1-15.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Calculating available disk space - this could take a bit kdebase 100 % done 1/4 kdebase-devel 100 % done 2/4 Completing update for kdebase-devel - 3/4 Completing update for kdebase - 4/4 Updated: kdebase 6:3.1-15.i386 Dep Installed: kdebase-devel 6:3.1-15.i386 Transaction(s) Complete [root@violet 18:02:41 rh90]#
