This is very cool and definitely something that's been needed. I wonder, though, if instead of pulling full config information, if it just makes sense to have repoid->baseurl mapping present. That would make it so that you don't have to worry about forbidden settings or overwriting other things people have set for the repo (eg, include/exclude packages) > There are certainly a few bugs in it :-) I wasn't sure what the best > combination of setting/clearing/modding the baseurl and mirrorlist was to > force yum to use the local mirrors (whilst still falling back on the > other mirrors). I wonder if the best thing to do here is to just set things up as a mirrorlist using non-roundrobin failover. Then, the mirrorlist could be populated with the local mirror and then either the baseurl or a pre-shuffled mirrorlist.
