Hi,
Sorry to post this here but eventhough I've registered my account in yum track
system, I'm unable to find a place to post a new ticket, so I'm doing this here.
I'm working on OSCAR Cluster tools and one of its tool called yume is using
yum. Unfortunately, since CentOS-6, I see a false-positive warning.
I've been able to identify the problem.
yum install -c yum_cmd_file.txt --installroot / my_package
Will result in the following false-positive warning:
Ignored option -c (probably due to merging -yc != -y -c)
1st of all, the -c option is not ignored (otherwize, the oscar specific repos
would have been ignored and the strace shown that the file is parsed)
2nd, there is no y option sticked to the -c option.....
I know that "--installroot /" is pretty useless, but in fact the / is computed
(depending on the fact that the package goes on the head or into a systemimager
image) and, it is a valid syntax with a missleading warning.
The problem is in file /usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py line 267.
(yum-3.2.29-30.el6.centos.noarch)
# don't test for this, if we are using --installroot.
if root == '/' and opts.conffile != pc.fn:
self.logger.warning("Ignored option -c (probably due to merging -yc
!= -y -c)")
The test is bad as it assumes that if root == / then the installroot option is
not used which is wrong in our case.
I'm not python programmer, and I can't help more. I can't tell how to retreive
the fact that the --installroot option was in the cmdline. Is the info
available or should a flag be created when parsing cmdline options? I can't
tell, but I think that my infos are a good start.
Best regards.
PS: I'll look at yume code to see if there is an easy way to avoid the
'--installroot /' parameter when the install root is / (but that doesn't
prevent to fix the miss leading warning though ;-)).
Best regards.
