So you want a linux environment in (say): /compat/linux/... ...and you want yum to manage this? My guess is that you want a "native" version of yum then, so that the linux root doesn't need to contain yum+python+etc., and then you want to set a yum.conf (if not the yum.conf to have installroot=/compat/linux). At which point you'd be installing yum in /usr (or /usr/local?). As Seth said, if you want to install in /usr/local, I think you are better off just patching yum (and yum-utils/etc.) as it's unlikely those patches will change much ... but I guess we _might_ accept patches, depending on what they look like. -- James Antill - ja...@fedoraproject.org http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.28 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumBenchmarks http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumHistory _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
