I've had to set up reposync recently here to synchronise some of the
Fedora update repositories, using reposync from yum-utils-1.1.17-1.fc8
(Fedora 8).
One problem I encountered was wanting the synced repository to be in
*exactly* the directory I specified. When using the --download-path
option, reposync unconditionally adds the repository name to the path
I've specified. With the repository layout we're using internally this
isn't what I want.
I've created a simple crude patch internally to change this behaviour as
required. Am I missing something, or alternatively is this useful to
anyone else? (I don't think the option name is optimal, but I failed to
think of anything better).
