Part of our node provisioning includes bringing in additional yum repositories through the syncfiles mechanism. We would like to be able to use the otherpkgs postscript to install packages from the otherpkglist variables. However, this is limited to removing packages by name, or installing packages by full path (yet still requiring you to have put together an entire repo beforehand), or (finally) installing the package by wildcard path.
There is no way to simply list a package in the otherpkglist file and have "yum install" or appropriate bring it in. This patch to the otherpkgs postscript adds this feature. If the path is an absolute path, then it continues to treat the dirname as a repository path. If it is begins with http://, then it is a "plain_pkg" that RPM can install. Otherwise, simply let yum install using the existing repositories. /Lindsay -- R.
