Just a quick note to say yum-presto 0.3.10 (which will be the last in the 0.3 series) is now in the presto repository with some fixes and a few new issues to deal with. For more information about yum-presto, check out http://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/presto. First off, the fixes: * A "*" is added to the repository of a deltarpm'd package in the package list. There used to be one by the name of the package, but that screwed up depsolving. It shouldn't cause any problems next to the repository. * Yum-presto is now able to validate two packages with the same name but different arches correctly. This was actually a bug in deltarpm, and upstream has provided a patch to fix the problem. I have pushed a new version of deltarpm with the upstream patch to the presto repository that goes with the new version of yum-presto. I have also reworked the presto repository so that it should work correctly for fc6 and devel for the i386 and x86_64 arches. Get the new repo file at http://www.lesbg.com/jdieter/presto/yum-presto.repo. The old repository file points to FC6 i386. I will *not* push the new version to either FC-6 or devel until the new version of deltarpm has been pushed. I'm also not sure whether the development freeze applies to presto (as it's *not* being included by default in F7). Just a heads up that there are many i386 packages in the x86_64 distribution that will *not* have deltarpms. This is because rpm uses file-colors to keep the the 32 bit binary from overwriting the 64 bit binary for any packages that store files in /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin (and there may be other locations). Deltarpm can't build the new rpm when these files are missing. I'm not sure what the long-term solution is (though there seems to be some debate on that on fedora-maintainers). The next version of yum-presto will attempt to rebuild files from rpms kept in the cache, if they're available and may (if I can work out a good method) make deltas of the repository data. I will also remove the ability to set presto repositories in the presto.conf file. This information should be either built into the repomd.xml file or the repositories' .repo files. Jonathan
