Hi all: The behaviour of yum's subcommands wrt globbing is a little hazy, so I'd like to propose that we explicitly define a few things. Specifically:
- all commands should accept globs (and no regexes) - if the command argument is not a valid glob, it will be assumed that the user wants matches for that string exactly, not strings that contain that string. This wouldn't really change too much, except for provides/whatprovides on filelists (which I suspect is kinda broken anyways), and search. Search is kind of special though, so if an invalid glob is supplied, we could just wrap it in asterisks. Thoughts? -James
