Ok, this is an unusual use of yum, so please read the entire thing before
replying that you have to be root.
I have a set up where I use RPM as a non-privileged user to deliver custom
non-os packages. This setup works great, but I have to manually deliver
update and new RPMs to this setup. I am curious if I can make YUM run as a
non-root user with all the yum files and configurations located in
non-standard places and deliver these RPMs to this location automatically.
Assume that underlying RPM works fine in this configuration (which, like I
said, it does with a few command line params and a custom config file)
The yum commandline will not work. I'm positive of that. You might be able
to make the python-api work with a little trickery. Give it a try.
