[Yum-devel] Still impossible to exit yum

Hi, all:

Just a reminder that it's still impossible to exit yum using Ctrl-C or
Ctrl-\. It always just switches to a different mirror, no matter how
quickly or frequently I press ctrl-c or ctrl-\. I believe it was
claimed "fixed" several times in the past, but it still is not working
as of 3.2.1. This means that if you're using mirrorlists, yum is
near-impossible to exit.

There should be a way to interrupt yum, at least during
package/metadata download. That's very basic functionality, and it is
missing. Having to Ctrl-z and then kill -9 is not very friendly to
users nor admins.

Cheers,
