I have no problem making this change but can you expand on how this saves time and bandwidth? The reason for the specific file Requires is because I create a symbolic link to it and the nss package has changed the location of this file twice. in yum metadata (repodata) - certain files - specifically those in *bin/* and /etc are kept in the primary metadata - along with the provides. So when you ask 'what provides /bin/bash' the lookup doesn't need to download anything else. However, when you need to look up a path outside of those areas you have to download all of the filelists for the repository. The filelists are fairly heavy to download especially for folks with limited bandwidth. Does that explain the additional time/bandwidth? To put this another way - if file-requires didn't exist, how would you do what you're doing right now? |
