[Yum-devel] Exposing location base

[Paul Nasrat]

Hi all,

Following on from my rpmmd list comments, I'd like to ensure we have
base exposed in yum. 

Let me know if you think the attached patch will break anything, the
most risky change is:

    def _bn(self, qn):
        if qn.find('}') == -1: return qn
        return qn.split('}')[1]

    def _prefixprops(self, elem, prefix):
        ret = {}
        for key in elem.attrib.keys():
            ret[prefix + '_' + self._bn(key)] = elem.attrib[key]
        return ret

As I didn't really want location_{http://url/to/base/xml/blah}base as a
field.  This will affect namespaced attributes we parse using
_prefixprops, of which I believe location_base was the only one.

I've tested as follows 

1) Generate repo without url createrepo -g Fedora/base/comps.xml -x
debug .

2) Test using repoquery
repoquery --repoid development --qf '%{basepath} %{relativepath}' -q
perl-Inline

None Fedora/RPMS/perl-Inline-0.44-15.noarch.rpm

3) Disable sqlite cache - edit repoquery and after repoq.doConfigSetup()
add:
if hasattr(repoq.repos, 'sqlite'):
        repoq.repos.sqlite = False
        repoq.repos._selectSackType()

repoquery --repoid development --qf '%{basepath} %{relativepath}' -q
perl-Inline
None Fedora/RPMS/perl-Inline-0.44-15.noarch.rpm


4) regenerate cache to have base
createrepo -u media:/rawhide-20051109/#1 -g Fedora/base/comps.xml -x
debug .

5) With sqlite:
repoquery --repoid development --qf '%{basepath} %{relativepath}' -q
perl-Inline
media:/rawhide-20051109/#1 Fedora/RPMS/perl-Inline-0.44-15.noarch.rpm

6) without
repoquery --repoid development --qf '%{basepath} %{relativepath}' -q
perl-Inline
media:/rawhide-20051109/#1 Fedora/RPMS/perl-Inline-0.44-15.noarch.rpm
