We used to, but SELinux/security people threatened to eat us alive if we won't stop installing stuff behind the user's back. I was thinking of continuing to not install anything, but just unify the caches. The packages are signed and authentication is still required to install them even if they are pre-cached, so that doesn't present any security problems that I can think of. I suppose you could ask the abrt user to authenticate on the spot if they want to permanently install the debuginfo packages for faster bug reporting in the future. We use yumdownloader to download the packages, so I think yumdownloader is the one who should share the cache with yum -> reassigning to yum-utils. Jirka Hm, can't find yum-utils in components, probably some bug in bugzilla. Jiri are you running yumdownloader as root, or as a random user? Hi, it's run as root. J. This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
