No. instance 1: lock repo1, do what you have to do, unlock repo1 instance 2: lock repo2, do what you have to do, unlock repo2 instance 1: lock repo2, wait until instance 2 unlocks, continue. How are we deadlocking there? You're thinking of the lock being for the entire runtime of the program, I'm thinking of the lock being for the time during which we are WRITING/downloading info. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@linux.duke.edu https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
