[Yum] Feature request(s)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've been using Yum for about about 9 months and I must say it's been
extremely helpful so far in my environment.   I'm using it in the
kickstart process to install and upgrade a final set of RPMs after using
anaconda to install a small base system.  There are however a couple of
features I'd like to see added:


1)  A rollback feature.  I can see from the list that this has been
requested before, but I'm not sure of the status of this feature.  I'd
be happy to have yum support the %_repackage_all_erasures via RPM macros
so I could at least manually do a rollback with the rpm --rollback
command.

2) The ability to install a particular version instead of just the
latest.  I support a number of developers who are writing in-house
programs.  There is a need to install and test a particular version of a
RPM depending on what stage of the development/testing cycle we are. 
Currently we have solved this problem by using the -c option and point
to an http location that will only show a particular version of RPM. 
The drawback is that sometimes you have to do a lot cache cleaning and
re-downloading of header information.

thanks
