Hi All, I'm only sending this to devel lists b/c using this release should be for people who are: 1. comfortable with python tracebacks 2. comfortable with things breaking from time to time 3. comfortable with reporting bugs and using bugzilla. So, with that in mind. I'm pleased(sorta) to announce yum 2.1.0. This is using the new xml- based repository metadata (http://linux.duke.edu/metadata). NB: THIS CAN ONLY BE USED WITH REPOSITORIES THAT ARE USING THE NEW METADATA FORMAT. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH OLD-STYLE YUM-ARCH REPOSITORIES. What's New: - all sorts of things, not the least of which is a huge percentage of the code. :) - I've not documented all the new things, if someone would like to point out things, please, do so. What's Known to be Broken: - all the docs are wrong or somewhat wrong - if you want to know about config variables read yum/config.py - that should be VERY clear - all the groups functions do not work - they're just not hooked up - all the clean functions do nothing - the search and provides functions are not hooked up, either. - when updating a kernel it will not make the new kernel the default boot kernel. What's Known to Work: yum install/update/upgrade/remove/ yum list yum info yum generate-rss What needs to be done: - translations - clean up some output - docs - group functions - clean functions - search/provides/query/etc - all sorts of goodies I've missed while writing infrastructure. Where you get it: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.1/ Where you report bugs: https://devel.linux.duke.edu/bugzilla/ Where you send hatemail: Either yum-devel list or fedora-devel-list. Thanks, -sv
