Does that mean that the test I did and the problem I saw were
end-user errors and that there is no proble with your patch and
I can use it as-is to cut 1.5.4.3 and future ones?
That's a great news.
But perhaps we would need some description/warning to help end
users as clueless as I am with respect to yum in the release
notes and/or announcements?
Could you resend the patch with a commit log message that I can
later reuse parts from for such a purpose, with a sign-off
please?
