[Fedora-config-list] Importance of install/remove/update by group interface

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I wondering about the importance of the install/remove/update by group
interface in a yumified -packages.

Implementing the install/remove/update by package interface for yum is
pretty straight forward.  The group interface is proving much more
difficult.  The problem lies in the fact that comps and rhpl.comps use
rpmheaders while yum works with nevral to keep track of the packages.

The two choices I see are:
1.  The nevral could be converted into a list of rpmheaders that are
passed to comps.  That is pretty costly.  In addition it is kludgy.

2.  The comps stuff could be rewritten to utilize nevral.

Any better suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks 
Dave Farning
