Suggestions and comments for improvement ?
1. dare I ask it - what difference does it make the order the pkgs are
downloaded in?
it is useful for people on low bandwidth connections as it makes it
easier to get packages without having to cut a large download in
between and having it download all over again.
when you cut a large download yum restarts the download from where it left
off. urlgrabber implemented regets specifically for this purpose.
2. implementing your own downloadpkgs and overriding it is completely
doomed.
May you suggest another way ? As I mentioned ordering was happening
between predownload and postdownload hook .. so I could not figure out
a better way, may you suggest?
Moreover I was also plaining to do a download-by-deps i.e say 'yum
install foo bar' will download foo and all its deps first and then bar
and remaining deps for same reason as mention above.
can't you install the downloadonly plugin and run:
yum --downloadonly install foo
then
yum --downloadonly install bar
then
yum install foo bar
and get the same results?
