[Yum-devel] Want --dbpath equivalent for yum?

I am working on an offline update tool for Fedora, and it makes it
easier to point yum/rpm to the different rpmdbs representing the
profiles of the target machines. --dbpath just removes the need for
maintaining something like $profilename/var/cache/yum, and one can
simply have $profilename.

You can see the whole proposal at:

True it is not a big pain, but just that it would be nice to have. :-)

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
