Reposting here as yum-devel seems overly quiet :( Is there a better place for yum devel questions (other than IRC?) I'm working on CPacMan plugin for yum and so far I've had some success, but I am not quite sure whether I do things "right" so far. I've tweaked and twisted plugin to work under both RHEL5 (3.2.22) and RHEL6 (3.2.29) but at times I pretty much was beating it into submission. I have simplified the code and pasted it here: http://pastebin.com/NkUS6sb0 and would appreciate any feedback on it's quality/deficiencies... I am even willing to incorporate those changes and built simplified version of plugin once I'm done for "code snippets" section. Brief outline of function: plugin generates "pseudo-repo's" from a set of directories with RPM files. Locations of the repos and their contents are evaluated at run-time making them fairly dynamic (based on CPacMan rules, server class etc.). Packages are not meant to be installed on local machine either - I generate package manifest which can be used later to transfer files to a specific server and deployed there etc. The main thing I'm interested in is whether I have properly implemented alternative repository/sack/package classes and whether I use them right, it's not about whether I should even attempt implementing features I'm interested in, which are: real-time _in-memory_ repo generation with all the goodness that comes with it ;) -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245 --- Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem Woody Allen When in trouble when in doubt run in circles scream and shout http://www.wordwizard.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19330
