Maybe yum could become another emerge or pkg_add or so. :p Danger will robinson. Feature creep. Yum downloads packages/updates from configured repositories, resolves deps, and installs those packages. Anything else is above and beyond yum. Other things can use yum libraries to accomplish that bit of task, but must provide everything else. Now, with the new libraries that Seth is cranking out, a python script can import the yum module, do: import yum foo = yum.YumBase() foo.doGenericSetup() Then you can setup all kinds of things like foo.install(name='bar') and foo.update() and when you are done lining up these yum actions, you can foo.runTransaction() to run it all. Yum will be very easy to tie into for doing your grander than yum actions.
