Hi: I've had a set of rpms come across the line that yum would like to use filelists to resolve against. Apparently these are being extracted from #! in python scripts that are within the packages. Because my system only has 256M of ram, the 180M that yum takes up is creating a swap storm and the system no longer can move. I'm wondering if there is any additional optimizations possible to avoid the need for using filelists on the depsolve? One optimization I can think of is to check if the file reference is in one of the Requires listed in the package. For example, is /usr/bin/python2.4 inside of a Requires: python-abi = 2.4? Yum would then only need to open the filelist from the repository that Provides python-abi = 2.4. Currently, I disable all other repositories besides the one needing depsolve, and it appears to work okay.
