Hi All, Yum 2.1.7 is available. This is not feature complete for the 2.1 series - NOTE 2.1.X is a devel series of functional releases. When it is feature complete for release it WILL become 2.2. Tarball: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.1/yum-2.1.7.tar.gz src.rpm: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.1/yum-2.1.7-1.src.rpm noarch.rpm - built on fedora core 2(ish): http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.1/yum-2.1.7-1.noarch.rpm Thanks: A number of people contributed patches and files to make this release function. I really appreciate it. They are (in no particular order): - Ryan Tomayko - Michael Stenner - Menno Smits - Paul Nasrat - Gijs Hollestelle - Konstantin Ryabitsev Thanks folks! Changes: - more clean ups on the pickling/metadata caching code - implemented yum makecache. It will make the pickles of all the metadata for all enabled repositories - handy as a cron job to run at night when you're not using the machine. - timeout option in any repository - this is a timer for how long urlgrabber will let a socket wait before killing it and declaring it dead. :) - This will only work with python 2.3 and above systems. - implemented yum group* group commands are: grouplist, groupinfo, groupinstall, groupupdate, groupremove - yum generate-rss now takes an optional 'updates' argument. This will tell it to output an rss xml file of the updates needed for your system. - Special Bonus - first person to write a gnome applet that reads this file and changes the display when new packages are available, wins my thanks :) - Lots of Misc bugs fixed Let me know what's broken in bugzilla, preferably. thanks -sv
