Searching every file will just take a long time. And, in fact, you will routinely find that what you're searching for in the package is never explicitly listed in any of the file lists. so that leaves us two options: - we include some sort of keyword tag in the pkg metadata - we include some sort of keyword metadata file in the repodata Doing either of those and having yum search them if they are available is do-able. We talked about this before, iirc. We just need to decide which one is more palatable and do it. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
