Hi everybody,
I need to use yum only for download of packages to central server and faced
"minor" problem: namely yum refuses getting listing from the server unless
yum is run by root. What are the reasons for this? I found corresponding
code:
# some misc speedups/sanity checks
if conf.uid != 0:
conf.cache=1
Can anybody explain side effects of me removing this "check" ?
