Only prerequisite I see in this approach is to have a means to either: - - have all the necessary .repo files already in place, so when the installation is performed, and the user might want additional software, (s)he could simply fire up pirut, and all the headers would be updated "automagically" and the software retrieved from the repositories; or - - have a minimum set of .repo files, and a routine in yum, so that when either run from the CLI or with pirut or even pup, the necessary repos get installed (sort of a "first-update" operation, a la first boot configuration), and the system updated/ready to install new software. I'd lean more towards the former approach, as simple text files don't take too much space, especially since they can compress so well. The problem would then be deciding which repos to include, as it would rock if livna-release package was available in Extras to be able to grab packages from Livna (with a big Red Flag of Warning, if you will), but sort of make it so that the end users wouldn't have to mess and fetch the keys and packages manually, etc, etc. Just my 2¢. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFEYApXM+XOp70dwoRAkAWAJ98SD5B/aLwS6h9+YGmr+y+oXK3nACeOTtI dCwwg0WyYaJIV3lfVllqPlQ= =qGUp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
