Yes. > I agree a dependency should be added on python-lzma, probably no > higher than Recommends, since yum works perfectly well without it, > assuming you are pulling from a repository that uses either gzip or > bzip2 compression. Well, I tend to disagree a bit. I am expecting to see more repositories follow on Fedora's lead and use xz to compress their repository files. I think it makes perfectly sense to have yum install python-lzma by default, especially since python-lzma package just takes 149 KiB on disk. > But I honestly don't think this bug, which isn't a > policy violation and has such a simple workaround, is RC. Probably true. OTOH, it's a trivial fix and it would be great to have it in Jessie before the release happens. As I said before, my motivation were change roots which are spawned using systemd-nspawn. The manpage of systemd-nspawn provides even instructions how to create a Fedora change root using yum. So, fixing this issue would mean people could use systemd-nspawn with less hassle. On a sidenote, it would be nice if yum would ship with some example repositories so that users have something where to start. Cheers, Adrian -- .''`.
