[Yum-devel] Apologies if OT: yum lan sharing

[Frank Murphy]

Having looked at:
<snips>
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching
Mount /var/cache/yum over NFS and set keepcache=1 in yum. 
Cons
sqlite (and hence yum) doesn't like being on NFS.  

(beta) avahi-packages-server.py and yum avahi support (see:
http://james.fedorapeople.org/yum/avahi) 
</snips>

Just thinking out loud, trying not to duplicate 
any backroom efforts?
yum, not PackageKit, apper etc..
an idea
autofs + nfs + yum-local + createrepo
with yum-local honouring eg:
repodir =/nfs/yum/$releasever/$basearch
so no manual changing on os update

I have to have a good luck at both yum-local and createrepo

Just a germ of an idea, as current devs your thoughts, 
is it feasible,
would I be just wasting time
putting effort into this.
