Ahh, I didn't think the spins did that (they are just different sets of default packages then?) ... atm. that wouldn't be trivial to work around, but it could be done by providing a repo. just for the extra repometadata ... or we could change the proposed metadata syntax to solve this? > And how would you account for multiple repos providing this > information... differently? Which repo wins? Atm. it works a lot like comps.¹ ... the repodata is merged (so if one repo. prefers FOO and one BAR, then both/either are preferred over BAZ but are equal against each other). With the caveat. that atm. the implementation prefers the data from repo. X when we are installing a dependency of a package from repo. X. So if you "yum install java-devel" it'll use the global/merged data, but if you do "yum install totem" then "libbaconvideowidget.so.0()" could go to either totem-xine or totem-gstreamer based on just what the repo. totem comes from specifies. ¹ But, yeh, that's one of the things I asked for comments about. -- James Antill <james.antill@xxxxxxxxxx> Red Hat
