My first instinct is leave it as a boolean and have auto == on. What is the desired behaviour difference between "on" and "auto" ... are there any cases where you'd expect users to want to change from "auto" to "on"? > .IP > \fBasync \fR > -If set (the default) and urlgrabber supports it, yum will use parallel > downloader > -for packages from this repo. > +If set and urlgrabber supports it, yum will use parallel downloader for > packages > +and metadata from this repo. Defaults to 'auto' (on for yum repositories > only). Explaining what "yum repositories" means here is going to be non-trivial, I think. I guess we could say "repos. loaded directly from a configuration file" or something ... but it might be better to just say something like "yum will use parallel download, when it can". AIUI things like repodiff/tmprepo/--repofrompath are all not going to work, without other patches (which is fine, but means we can't easily just say not-RHN or something). _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
