[Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH 3/6] Setting the yumcache

[Jeremy Katz]

So, I commented a little on Colin's related patch... I'm leaning towards
this approach, though.

Why not do the bind mount?  By bind mounting the cache as /var/cache/yum
in the chroot, you don't have to do any mucking with the yum config
which should make it so that you just have to get the option and if it
doesn't exist, fall back to the default.  It also makes the cachedir
available to the chroot in %post which people could take advantage of if
they wanted
