Hello, I have written a small plugin to order downloads as per size : (users with variable bandwidth do find it useful)
http://rakesh.fedorapeople.org/yum/yum-download-order-0.1.tar.gz http://rakesh.fedorapeople.org/srpm/yum-download-order-0.1-1.fc11.src.rpm http://rakesh.fedorapeople.org/misc/yum-download-order-0.1-1.fc11.noarch.rpm >From README file: Usage ====== Configure ========= File: /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/download-order.conf Options: for downloadorder can be 'default', 'smallestfirst', 'largestfirst' and by default 'smallestfirst' is selected. e.g [main] enabled=1 downloadorder=smallestfirst Options with yum command ======================== Yum command options will override configure file options. e.g yum --download-order=largestfirst install <packagename> or yum --download-order=smallestfirst install <packagename> The problem which I faced was .. sorting of pkgs occurs between predownload and postdownload hook using mediasort nested function giving no direct access to use it. So, I used one of evil hacks (as suggested by James in morning). I would like to patch up presto plugin also .. in case this sorting is adjusted so that hooks can have access to them .. as evil hacks I guess wouldn't be acceptable to presto atleast. Till the time this is done, I will have to update it as soon as any change occurs in downloadPkgs function. Suggestions and comments for improvement ? Thanks, -- Regards, Rakesh Pandit _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
