A list of presto-enabled +repositories is available there. + +Installation: +============= +1- Install yum-presto on your system (yum -y install yum-presto) +2- Either use a repository that already has presto enabled in it or modify + your .repo files so they contain the following: + deltaurl = http://your-presto-repository.com + where your-presto-repository.com is replaced with a valid presto repository +3- Now install an old rpm from a presto-enabled repository using rpm, then + try updating it using yum. The plugin should kick in, try to download the + drpm, reconstruct the full rpm, and yum should install that. + +Notes: +====== +Presto will read the deltaurl from two possible locations: +1. The repository's .repo file ("deltaurl = http://your-presto-repository.com") +2. Appended to /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/presto.conf in the form: + [repository] + deltaurl = http://your-presto-repository.com + +Presto.conf has the following options in [main]: +keepdeltas=1 Always keep deltas in cache no matter what keepcache + is set to. +neverkeepdeltas=1 Always remove deltas after creating full rpms. +exitondownloadfailure=0|1 If there is a problem downloading the deltarpm, exit + rather than trying to download the full rpm. +Note: If you specify neither keepdeltas nor neverkeepdeltas, presto will follow + the keepcache option in yum.conf. |
