I'm using FC6 to cook up a custom internal distro and want to use only a subset of the rpms considered required by the vanilla FC dependencies. Basically I'm rolling a custom initrd image and am looking for some info regarding how compatible yum is vs rpm at a command line option level. 1 - is there a yum equivalent to rpm's "--test" option ? 2a - is there a yum equivalent to rpm's "--force" or "--nodeps" options ? Is the answer still "never under any circumstances" ? 2b - if I was going to try to extend the existing yum to add in "--force", "--nodeps" and "--test", is there a quick guide for where to do that ? I'm still having some problems navigating the twisty passages of yum and all its python pieces. 3 - lastly, is there any hitchhikers' guide to how to extend yum or its internals of how it works under the hood ? Pointers much appreciated.... ------ vince.skahan@xxxxxxxxxx ------ _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
