[Yum] New Clarifications

> 1. How Yum handles conflicts like the same file delivered by different
> RPMs?  

same way rpm does. It's a conflict, it shouldn't happen. It can't be
detected via rpm until AFTER you run a test transaction, though.


> 2. How Yum validates package integrity? 
it uses the internal package md5, sha1 and gpg checksums

> 3. Is there "push" updates capability?  
not sure what this means

> 4. What about any remote administration? 
ssh is my remote admin too.

> 5. Can client machine belong to different groups associated with
> different software repositories? 

also not sure what this means.
you can have multiple repositories listed in the yum.conf, sure.
