python/yum idea "SOLVED"

[jlc]

With pretty much all Steve doing it, were done and you can see it on page 2 or here:

 

FC3 how-to enable/disable repo's and script

 

Well, I didn't post the script over there yet, i'm teasing them first to see ;-)

 

 

 

 

Basically I want to create a python script that will do the following.

 

1. Ask for sudo or su

a. /bin/su

b. /usr/bin/sudo

 

2. Use yum

a. /usr/bin/yum

 

3. Enable/Disable repositorys to install software.

a. --disablerepo=<name>

b. --eablerepo=<name>

 

Example of how it would be used:

 

How to I wrote to enable/disable repo's for yum and fc3

 

The problem is, to run it you need to type the following as an example

 

sudo yum --enablerepo=freshrpms --enablerepo=dag --enablerepo=dries  --enablerepo=newsrpms --disablerepo=livna-stable --disable=livna-testing --disablerepo=livna-unstable --disablerepo=fedora-us --disablerepo=atrpms-stable --disablerepo=atrpms-good --disablerepo=atrpms-testing --disablerepo=atrpms-bleeding install xmms-mp3

 

As you can see, thats a lot of typeing and things to remember!

 

Is it doable?

 

Any thoughts, help?

 

I would like to use python since yum uses it.

 

Here, I'll start

 

#!/usr/bin/python

 

:P

So far in the #musb with Ohms/LZ & fissy I've got this much out of them :D

 

#!/usr/bin/python

var = raw_input("Enable freshrpms? Y/N: ")
if var is Y:
fresh="--enablerepo=freshrpms"
if var is N:
fresh="--disablerepo=freshrpms"

 

results =

 

 ./yumscript
 File "./yumscript", line 6
   elif fresh="--disablerepo=freshrpms"
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[justin@neo python]$ ./yumscript

Traceback (most recent call last):

   if var is Y:

I work with python, ill give you a hand if you want, i might have a look after school today, however I have exams next week, so no promises.

 

I might make something tonight :D

[Steve Scrimpshire]

This'll work better in the long run:

var = raw_input("Enable freshrpms? Y/N: ")
if var is "Y" or var is "y":
      repos['fresh']="--enablerepo=freshrpms"
if var is "N" or var is "n":
      repos['fresh']="--disablerepo=freshrpms"

var = raw_input("Enable dag? Y/N: ")
if var is "Y" or var is "y":
      repos['dag']="--enablerepo=dag"
if var is "N" or var is "n":
      repos['dag']="--disablerepo=dag"

 

etc

Just an FYI....

 

I'm going to keep changeing the 5 "reply" in here as suggestions come in via #musb or here

I've got it worked out, ill script something up in my next class, teacher's away, free period :P
