And just move forward with doing things from the yum-cli and/or yum modules. Using the rpm interface for rescue/recovery functionality only.
Please remember that people use packaging tools for more than simple system maintenance; for example, I use an image-builder which is now based on smart (even though it was originally based on yum) because smart is more convenient for some of my programmatic use cases [1]. Basically, diversity in this area is a Good Thing, in my humble opinion. Please don't impair it without a really good reason when alternatives exist (such as pushing this functionality into RPM). Thanks, Michael [1]: In particular, because of its programmable mirror system, priority system, support for alternate package formats, built-in ability to download packages, builtin ability to save URLs for the packages it is going to download, strictness options, etc.) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
