David Cantrell and I have been working on a small utility to configure yum repositories and made it available publically on Sunday night after putting some serious work into it over the weekend. He sent an announcement to fedora-devel-list, but since he's not on this list I said I'd forward it along. For now, the project is being hosted on his machine but we'll probably move it later.
Here's the text of the announcement. My apologies to those who will be seeing this twice. One note modifying the text is that we now do have devel packages available since the problem was with the spec file, not with the build system. - Chris Announcing repoman ------------------ Repoman is a PyGTK frontend for configuring common and basic settings for yum. Specifically, it lets users enable and disable individual repos easily. Users can add and remove repositories as well. Repoman is not meant to expose all of yum's configuration settings in GUI form, but rather the common settings most users will care about. One of the interesting features is the Tracking page. Users can easily switch between stable (with or without updates) or development branches and repoman will enable and disable the correct repositories for the user. Repoman also offers a set of Python classes for reading and writing out /etc/yum.repos.d files. The core element is the RepoStanza, which are contained in RepoFiles, and all of those make up a Repos collection. This program is evolving a lot, so help testing and/or coding is appreciated. Repoman is short for repository manager. DOWNLOAD Web page: http://www.boston.burdell.org/repoman/ Source archives are available in tar.gz format. We have RPMs available for Fedora Core 6. We would have rawhide RPMs available, but we ran in to a problem building on rawhide.
