I was hoping for a more detailed explanation, like what would be the most appropiate slot to download the info file from the server or how to link the packages name from the repository with those from the file. As I said before this is my first contact with python and yum plugins . Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
