Hello, I have been wanting to update the kernel-module plugin for yum on SL5. I have it all ready in the testing area, and it does work so much better than the previous kernel module plugin. The problem is that it does not backport very well to yum 3.0 which is on SL 5.0 and 5.1. To keep things short there is a bug in yum 3.0 (and 2.4) that prevents the plugin's from fixing up dependancies when yum gets them wrong. This bug is fixed in yum 3.2 (which is what is in SL 5.2 and 5.3) So why would I worry about upgrading the old yum? Because along with bug fixes, there is a couple of feature changes. The biggest change is that yum 3.2 automatically has the installonlyn feature. This only keeps 'n' kernels on your machine. This works pretty good and I think many people will think it's great. But I don't know if everyone is going to like it, and they might be surprised by it. Anyway, I need opinions. Should I push the newer yum out to all of SL5? Or should I just push it out to SL 5.2 and 5.3?
