The "current" yum-avahi is at: http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/rds204/yum-avahi/ ...AIUI it "works", the problem is that it basically stores extra foo.repo files on the "avahi network" and so any local attacker can override the client machines gpg checking settings etc. So it needs to move to just add the extra local URL at the front of the mirrors list, and probably be cleanedup/spedup a bit. Then there is the design of what it does now: It is designed to present a full mirror to the clients, which isn't that useful. What we'd want is more like "box X already download primary.sqlite and perl, so when you do 'yum update' on box Y get those packages from it". The server part of it also needs some work, so it's integrated into yum-updatesd or something and generally is cleaner/safer. As now you have to run a specific server just for the avahi bits. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
