What happens is that this line: result = self.grab.urlgrab(misc.to_utf8(relative), local, ...results in a call to _setupGrab() (via. _getgrab() from the self.grab property). _setupGrab() uses self.urls, which is another property setup in _geturls(), which calls _baseurlSetup() this then gets the mirrors from the mirrorlist or metalink metadata configured for the repo. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
