This patch adds a new --cachedir command line argument allowing the user
to specify an explicit directory where metadata will be cached. The current
code forces unprivileged users to use a cache in /var/tmp/yum-XXXXX which
is preserved across runs. Unfortunately this fails if running reposync
with many different yum configs with same repository names, but different
architectures. eg, if syncing Fedora 'development' repo on i386, and then
rerun with --arch x86_64 to sync the x86_64 'development' repo it will
mistakenly use the cache of the i386 metadata. Defining an explicit
cache directory with --cachedir avoids this problem
Regards,
Dan.
