3.2.25 ← What's new in 3.2.26 → 3.2.27

}}} == User Interface changes == * Searching will now search repo. pkgtags. * Add a special $uuid variable to yumvars, can be used in baseurl/etc. to track machines. * Change disk space needed message. * Fix output of "zero sized" packages in listTransaction(). * A few minor tweaks to repolist command, main: Now outputs number of excluded packages. * Sort skip-broken debug output. * Add skip_if_unavailable option to repos. configuration. * Make the "Requires missing" dep. failure text easier to read, and more informative. * Cross arch. downgrades now work. * If we are just doing installs, show the disk space used (nice for sizing chroot's etc.) * Add --rpmverbosity option. * Add "last" prefix argument to history undo/redo. Eg. "yum history redo last-1" * Show last transaction, even if it's incomplete, when using "yum history info". * Change history DB to only be readable by root, by default. * Add check command. * Add version nogroups sub-command. * Add "clean rpmdb" sub-command. * Process --showduplicates for obsoletes (Eg. list obsoletes). * Show which variable is wrong when we error out of config. parsing. * Print txmbr's as e:v-r instead of weird e-v-r. * Drop status, when just listing disabled/enabled repos. in repolist. * List all obsoleted pkgs. for an obsoleting pkg. * Show releasever in "yum list" if it's not the same as current. * Don't output usage() for bad command errors. * Allow local*/install/downgrade/etc. to use http/ftp/https URLs (like rpm -U). * Add long variants for all options. * Wrap "License" field in info command. * Add --releasever. * Only match non-locale group names if current locale matching failed. * Fix i18n in history. * yum-metadata-parser is now only conditionally in run_with_package_names. * Show script/error output in history. == Significant bugfixes == * Scriptlet output is now setup correctly again, so history can now store it. * Fix problems with packages that have checksum_type but no checksum_data, in history. * Work around rpm-4.8.* API change (rpm transaction problems). * Cross arch. downgrades now work. * Use a tempfile for rpm transaction output. * Fix "install foo" in multilib_policy=all when there are different versions of foo in different arches. * Fix epoch matching in rpmdb.returnPackages() Aka. "yum list installed" * Fix rpmdb.simpleVersion() using gpg-pubkey packages. == Resource improvement changes == * Do reget on repo. metadata files, possible due to use of unique filenames. * Speedup a few functions, most noticeable of which is "yum list", via. utf8_ucp_width() * Speedup "small dep. solving, due to caching file requires and conflicts. * Speedup rpmdb pattern matching. * Add code to make "large" dep. solving faster, but turned off (waiting for indexes to be created by y-m-p). * Minor speedup to dep. solving for checkInstall/checkRemove(). * Minor speedup in dep. solving for allowedMultipleInstalls(). * Add patches for using PackageSack() in tsInfo. == API changes == * searchGenerator() now always uses the pkgtags searching as well. * Add the pkgtags API. * setCacheDir() now sets .conf.cachedir. * Add a fast option to pkg.verify(). * Add a special $uuid variable to yumvars. * Hack the changelog data to fix the sorting problem. * Add force argument to deselectGroup(). * Allow setting values for update notices, add add_notice(). * Update pgp module, from upstream. * Add rpmdb.check_*() APIs. * Add rpmdb.return_running_packages() * Add transactionCacheFileRequires() and fileRequiresData(). * Add transactionResultVersion() and transactionCacheConflictPackages(). * Add futureRpmDBVersion(). * Never use MD5 for repomd/metalink/etc. checking, even though it was just an extra check. * Change rpmdb.simpleVersion() to possibly return a cached value, and thus. return a string. * Add .ui_from_repo to packages. * Add .ui_nevra to packages. * Add .ui_envra to packages. * Add YumUrlPackage() * Add "re_remote_url()" for testing if a url is "remote". * Add get_running_kernel_version_pkgtup(). * Only match non-locale group names if current locale matching failed. * Add returnFileEntries(primary_only=True). * Warn/Deprecate simpleFiles(). * Add "base package name installed" compare providers check. * Add .base_package_name to packages. * yum-metadata-parser is now only conditionally in run_with_package_names. === Developer stats. === {{{ 3.2.26 - 240 commits: Tue Feb 9 14:08:59 2010 -0500 68 files changed, 20,974 insertions(+), 9,784 deletions(-) 33 files changed, 2,550 insertions(+), 830 deletions(-) [yum rpmUtils bin *.py] }}}
