Hi. I administrate some CentOS 5 (and, hopefully soon, CentOS 6) machines, and I'd like to have lots of lovely color output from yum. I see from the manpages that there are some color options currently, but I'd like to have it be more extensive.
First question: should I go about hacking on yum proper, or make a yum plugin? I was guessing the former, since color options already exist, but I wanted to make sure this was a good path. Of concern is also ease of getting any changes I make into the yum on my machines - I'm ok doing some backporting, as long as things haven't changed significantly. Secondly: how do you all handle development environments? I cloned down the yum repo yesterday to play around with it, but I can't get it to run on the system python because it uses library calls[0] not available in 2.4. I can't use 2.6 because something requires the rpm library, which is installed on my system (in the 2.4 path), but not otherwise available for installation. Also, the EPEL virtualenv doesn't work in 2.4 any more[1]. :( I appreciate any advice you might give. - P [0]: http://docs.python.org/2/library/struct.html#struct.unpack_from [1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969395
