Hi,

There is a yum-3.2.22 in the c5-testing repo's.<snip>

Feedback here on the list would be ideal.

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories for info on howto setup the Testing repo if you dont have it already.

Installed 8/25 # rpm -q yum yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos

Only one pkg to do (gnutls)but it worked well this A.M.

And this A.M., used it again to install the yum-metadata-parser Johnny talked about. All went well.

Hi,

There is a yum-3.2.22 in the c5-testing repo's. This is what will be most likely the next yum update in CentOS-5, so please test. Things that would be good to get feedback on are exactly how the behavior changes for people with modified / customised configs and repo setups.

There is also now a new yum-metadata-parser file to look at:

yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5.centos

It is also in the testing repo.

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Hi Johnny,

Is that yum-metadata-parser package built from the FasTrack SRPM?

If so, then I've been testing/using it for the last 4 months without issue - it does what it says on the tin (for me). I've not experienced any of the issues people have been fixing with 'yum clean all|metadata' since updating.

Yes, it is the same one from fastrack.

Apparently, the -color option is turned on in the latest yum by default. You can disable it by adding a -color=never to the yum command. Or, maybe customize the color by editing config.py. I see these lines:

color_list_installed_older = Option('bold') color_list_installed_newer = Option('bold,yellow') color_list_installed_reinstall = Option('normal') color_list_installed_extra = Option('bold,red')

color_list_available_upgrade = Option('bold,blue') color_list_available_downgrade = Option('dim,cyan') color_list_available_reinstall = Option('bold,underline,green') color_list_available_install = Option('normal')

color_update_installed = Option('normal') color_update_local = Option('bold') color_update_remote = Option('normal')

color_search_match = Option('bold')

always looking for the hard work? man yum.conf, look for color ! (assuming you have the new yum installed, of course)

I see these lines:

color_list_installed_older = Option('bold')
color_list_installed_newer = Option('bold,yellow')
color_list_installed_reinstall = Option('normal')
color_list_installed_extra = Option('bold,red')

color_list_available_upgrade = Option('bold,blue')
color_list_available_downgrade = Option('dim,cyan')
color_list_available_reinstall = Option('bold,underline,green')
color_list_available_install = Option('normal')

color_update_installed = Option('normal')
color_update_local     = Option('bold')
color_update_remote    = Option('normal')

color_search_match = Option('bold')

That seems a significant change and should be accompanied by a change log entry I think.

Oh well. The man page explains all but the lack of noting a major change or enhancement in a change log.

The changelog just says something like "rebase to blah version", and there have been a few "significant" changes between each rebase. You might want to have a look at:

http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases

...and follow from there, as all the significant changes should be listed.
