It looks pretty good. The question I'd ask is does it make more sense to have the entire repo in S3 or just the pkgs. Keeping the repodata in a simple http-based service. Since the repodata is small-ish. Then your plugin gets somewhat simpler b/c you can just put it in at the pre download slot and go from there. > I know almost nothing about the Yum plugin API and it probably shows. > But the plugin does work and is extremely useful to us.
