I've been working on a new version of createrepo that uses the yum modules to read in the package metadata. It's not really changing createrepo fundamentally it just simplifies the code and reduces a lot of duplication b/t createrepo and yum. However, one of the things that comes out of this is the ability to create 'fake' yum package objects comprised of data sucked directly out of koji. The idea is that instead of getting a list of pkgs, getting the metadata from them, then putting that metadata into the repodata xml format you could just connect to koji with a list of specific packages you wanted, request where the packages exist on disk (or a url to retrieve them) and all the package metadata directly. anyway -for simplicity purposes it would be most convenient to do this by forming an xml-rpc connection to koji and asking it for all the required metadata for any particular package. Right now the simplest way would be to have the xml-rpc connecting module create a yum packgeobject and just submit it to the existing class. So, what I'm wondering is: 1. is all of this info available from inside koji? 2. is it possible to connect to the xml-rpc interface anonymously? 3. will it actually be faster or at least better to do this at all? -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
