Thanks, I'll look into it. I am not a big Python guy, but maybe its time
to learn :-)
Also, for some reason last few times I tried to send something to a
mailing list it never made it through. I wanted to mention that there is
an old bug in urlgrabber that is still there that prevents yum from
working when baseurl has both authentication and a custom port enabled.
Details are here: http://yum.baseurl.org/ticket/132. There is a patch
attached that seems to work great. It would be nice if this was fixed in
the main code. :-)
Thanks.

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.
