Hey Thomas! Thank you very much for your effort. However, please note that urlgrabber was already ported a few months ago to Python 3 and released in Fedora: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/urlgrabber/releases/tag/urlgrabber-4-0-0 As for YUM, you're of course free to do as you wish, but please keep in mind that we are not going to accept any (such big) contributions to YUM upstream any more. The community has moved to DNF (also known as YUM-4) which is the successor of YUM-3. That being said, if you really want to keep the original YUM-3 alive, you'd be better off just forking the project on github. Thank you again and have a great day! -- Michal Domonkos Software Engineer & SST Lead Core Services: Software Mgmt Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
