I'm wishing for something that wasn't dependant on my installed state where I could take a stab at reviewing what obsoletes get fired from one "repo state" to another just from available repodata regardless of my system install state. Why? As a first cut I could ask questions like "what obsoletes would fire on a system that is fc2+legacy to fc5 upgrade" without having to be on an fc2+legacy system. Or "what are the obsoletes that fire from an everything install of fc4+fe4 upgraded to rawhide today" without having to have a system in the fc4+fe4 everything state to start with. I have no idea if this sort of offline analysis of repodata will reveal any problems, so its hard to judge if its worth the effort to do this sort of offline situational "whatif" testing.. hard to know until I do it. And up to this point, everytime I've come up with a goofball question that I want to ask against repodata, Panu has responded with some sort of tweak to a util in yum-utils. I really blame Panu for continuing to enable me to ask odder and odder questions with repodata. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
