Summary: Review Request: Yumdiff - Compares RPMS installed on local and remote systems https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206478 ------- Additional Comments From limb@xxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-10-18 07:16 EST ------- (In reply to comment #10) > (In reply to comment #9) > > Lacking a timely response from Ralf, > Hmm?

I guess what I'm getting at is that within scope I intended, I've not run into any problems with this script. In what way does it not function? > > I'm willing to make improvements, but I need more specific examples > > in order to make them . . . > Additional food for thought: > * What if the remote host uses a different Linux distro? Yumdiff is only intended to support Fedora, currently. > * What if the remote host doesn't use rpm or yum? As all Fedora hosts use rpm, and Yumdiff never calls yum on the remote host, I don't see a problem here. > * What if the remote host is not a Linux system at all (Solaris, or even Windows)? See #1. > > If there are problems or improvements I can make to make this function better with Fedora, I will. It was never intended to make installed-software comparisions across distros or OSs, as these comparisons could very well be meaningless due to differences in software version, package system type, etc. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
