Thanks.
I considered the symlink approach but didn't like it as I'd need to
manually fix up that symlink every time I do a fresh install on
that system (which I do every time there's a new fedora release),
and the name isn't predictable, which precludes a scripted
approach. So a means of directly configuring the directory name
would be much better.
The name can be the same as we just use yum-paul-*, and take the
first match, but the symlink thing won't work as we filter out
symlinks. Oh well.
Just bind-mount the path into place.
then it's not symlink-y.
Still suffers from the problem of being an unpredictable name, not good
for an fstab entry or non-root user.
This is not helpful but I given how the cachedir creator works you could
just make a dir named:
yum-yourusername-foobar
and yum will always use that one for as long as the dir exists.
