[Yum-devel] [PATCH] package basepath in yum

[Dennis Gregorovic]

The yum metadata supports an xml:base attribute of the location tag for
packages, which is saved as 'basepath' in the yum po after parsing.
However, as far as I can tell, basepath isn't used by yum.  

The attached patch causes yum to use the basepath when resolving the url
of the package.  More precisely, if basepath is set then the url used is
basepath + '/' + relativepath.  This makes the most sense to me. 

Thoughts?
