For what it's worth and if anyone is interested [*]: I have compiled all the needed deps and I use yum-3.2.19-18 in FC-7 (please, no flames on EOL ).seth vidal wrote:F9 and F10 both have python 2.5 and yum 3.2.21. Pretty much all yum's since 3.2.18 or 3.2.19 can cope with sha256sums already. and the metadata format doesn't change. The only changes made to yum to deal with sha256sums was the parts of yum createrepo uses to make the metadata.
