Hi,
in continuation to our IRC talk
like all other package managers yum (the command line tool) need a way
to add installation media CD/DVD
I know that the python API supports that
but fedora 9 users have no way to make use of that as there is no
single tool that implement it
(pirut was removed from F9, yumex don't have it, PK api does not
support it ...etc)
so at least we need the yum command line tool to support it
something like
yum addmedia
which will copy media.repo and do the cache
and yum's __init__.py should have a call like this
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=hosted/pirut.git;a=blob;f=pirut/__init__.py;h=24b87789429d664eab61bf8b79b9f91a5b270bb8;hb=HEAD#l151
to ask the user to insert the media
