Hi Folks, Yum 2.3.4 is available for download. This is a new release in the 'development' branch. It looks pretty good but there were a fair number of changes in this release so I wouldn't be surprised to find some bugs in there. Unrelated - I'd like to point out the yum wiki pages: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/Yum . Greg Knaddison has been kind enough to start editing them up and adding to them and he's really made some progress. If anyone is interested in helping out drop me a line. tarball: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.3/yum-2.3.4.tar.gz srpm: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.3/yum-2.3.4-1.src.rpm Changes: - document 'list recent' and 'deplist' - fix the 'perl(foo::bar::baz)' searching provides bug. - check if the url of a proxy is anything sensible - make yum shell not exit when failing to enable/disable a repo - fix an unneccesary sys.exit() in doRepoSetup() - if repomd.xml is mangled, try another mirror for unmangled one. This deals, correctly with horribly broken http servers that redirect a 404 error to an error page and issue a 200 *Thwack* - check in Christopher Weis's patch to enable repackaging support in yum - modify the patch to ouput progress bars and semi-sensible output for the rpm callback - make -d0 and -e0 work again. - misc updates to the man pages - merge terje rosten's patch for the new nevra package specification - remove rss-filename from the docs - change out returnPackageByDep() to use returnPackagesByDep() and bestPackageFromList() rather than duplicating a lot of simple code - Check in terje rosten's patch to config.py to handle reposdir as a list, not a string - Add support for name-epoch:version-release.arch naming convention to parsePackages() - add os.path.normcase() for lockfile to fix rh bug: 160928 - make the use-indexes-to-retrieve-hdrs mechanism work. - this makes a big speed up for yum remove calls when using rpm >= 4.4.1 - Added http_caching option to provide control over http caching headers. This addresses bug #412 - Support for multple GPG keys per repo. Let us know what breaks, thanks. -sv
