resolvedeps

Hi.

I am trying to learn from your experience : database_design.txt talks about
you trying to use rpmdb to store info about packages, and this idea was
thown out because of speed and multy-arch. I don't know what were you trying
to use the rpmdb for, but if i want to use rpmdb in nrh-up2date for
dependency resolution only, should i care about multy-arch ? From your
experience do multy-arch packages differ in the dependencies they provide ?

By the way, there was a discussion earlier about how to get updated
packages - most try to mirror updates.redhat.com - not all packages present
in the RHN servers go out to the updates server - example is rpmdb. RHN
servers host a 20020613 version, the one on the original 7.3 cd's is much
older, but the newer version is nowhere on updates.redhat.com. I use a
modified up2date script that pulls all available packages not already
downloaded for a specified channel from RHN servers. The script is available
on request (i could put a link to my project, but i am afraid that current
developers will consider this an advertisement for my own project. I really
sorry that we are not working together on this - we could do a good job, and
i am still open to suggestions)

Alex.
