Yum is in Python, which is cross-platform, is there any chance it works on Windows? The basic functionality of yum (keeping track of what packages are installed, and downloading appropriate versions from the repositories) is not Unix-specific. RPM packages are just archives with files and directories, again nothing Unix-specific. No, RPM packages are NOT just archives. > So that's why I would expect to be able to start Python under Windows, import yum, then run yum commands. However, I did not find anything on this topic in the documentation. If yum does not have cross-platform capabilities, can you please recommend a tool that does? The question should start with "are there any software for windows distributed as rpm packages". If the answer is no, then there's no point in having yum on windows. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
