Daniel,
Thanks. I've been fighting other battles so haven't had a chance to get
very far into this. I was coming to the same conclusion as I took out
the yum version test and simply used yum.conf instead of yum-hack.conf
and it broke.
That's mostly because the yum.conf file uses chrootfs:// and hostfs://
which are added by the patch and judging by the response of the upstream
yum developers will never be accepted.
This does bring up a possible new issue ( or I've never seen it
discussed before. ) There appears to be a command line length limit when
using vyum. I was building a script that built our stock guests (
verses a copy as I still haven't got that worked out ) and as we added
more packages I just edited the script adding them in forgetting to
test. I moved the script to another system and started getting (v)yum
failures even if I copy and pasted one line at a time.
Finally got a clue ( from somewhere ) and cut the number of packages
down for each call of vyum and they worked.
How many packages per command did you have? I seem to have no problems
installing over 2000 packages in a single command (other than it taking
a really long time :)).
