[Yum-devel] [UG] Urlgrabber 3.9.0 - pycurl-tastic

[Seth Vidal]

Hi all,
  A urlgrabber announcement. urlgrabber 3.9.0 is now released. Think of 
this as a beta-ish release. Most everything is working - but not all the 
unittests check out and I'm sure I've messed up some other bits. However, 
it is functional for yum and koji so far and I've tested A LOT of the 
basic items. Please file bugs (for now) in red hat's bugzilla( 
http://bugzilla.redhat.com) under python-urlgrabber.

The big change for this release is porting the backend over to using 
libcurl/pycurl. It took a fair bit of work to preserve the existing 
urlgrabber api and make things sane/behave with pycurl. However, I believe 
it is working out. No modifications were made to any program which uses 
urlgrabber and that sure looks like maintaining the interface is correct 
and happy.

You can get this release from:
http://urlgrabber.baseurl.org/download/urlgrabber-3.9.0.tar.gz

and I've built  some pkgs for f12/rawhide here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1570788&name=python-urlgrabber-3.9.0-3.fc12.src.rpm
and

To see the changes you can look in the changelog in the tarball or you can 
look here:
http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=urlgrabber.git;a=summary

I'd like to reiterate - this is a bit of a test version so please give it 
a try, tell me what is broken for any app that uses it and we'll get it 
put back together. But don't be shocked if not everything works perfectly.

let me know what breaks,
