Try replacing everything after:

var13 = raw_input("What pkg do you want to install? ")

with:

fullcmd = "yum " + repos["fresh"] + " " + repos["fedoraus"] + " "  + repos["livnastable"] + " " + repos["livnatesting"] + " " + repos["livnaunstable"] + " " + repos["dag"] + " " + repos["dries"] + " " + repos["newsrpms"] + " " + repos["atrpmsgood"] + " " + repos["atrpmsstable"] + " " + repos["atrpmstesting"] + " " + repos["atrpmsbleeding"] + " install " + var13

sudocmd =  "sudo yum " + repos["fresh"] + " " + repos["fedoraus"] + " "  + repos["livnastable"] + " " + repos["livnatesting"] + " " + repos["livnaunstable"] + " " + repos["dag"] + " " + repos["dries"] + " " + repos["newsrpms"] + " " + repos["atrpmsgood"] + " " + repos["atrpmsstable"] + " " + repos["atrpmstesting"] + " " + repos["atrpmsbleeding"] + " install " + var13

if su_do['enable'] is "su":

Awww mann!!! I wrote one too!!

Heres mine :)

Name it 'yumrepo' stick it somewhere in your path (/usr/bin is all good), chmod +x it, then run "yumrepo install bob" or put any other yum commands after it. All commands after 'yumrepo' except -l, --list-repos, -h, --help are passed to yum itself.

It gets a list of repos from /etc/yum.repos.d/ so the repos are not hard coded into it, meaning the script doesnt have to be edited if you add/remove repos.

You can also do 'yumrepo -l' to list the available repos.

This command, if run by a user, will ask for root password, then start itself up as root using su -c, perform it's command and you will be returned to a user command line

Hope you like it..

Either way whether you use it or not, i improved my python skills substantially, so it was all worth it :D It's only 69 lines too :P

To make life simpler, you can download it here: http://aslan.no-ip.com/~iphitus/downloads/programs/yumrepo

iphitus That error right there means that it is still looking into other repositorys, in this case "fedora-us" which they don't have created yet. Besides it shouldn't even be looking at it since I said "N" it should only be looking in "dag" and the default "Fedora" channels for updates and base packages?

Steve Scrimpshire · November 15, 2004

I think:

if response == "y" or response == "Y":
  yum = yum + "--enablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "
elif response == "n" or response == "N":
  yum = yum + "--disablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "
else:
  yum = yum + "--enablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "

should be:

if response is "y" or response is "Y":
  yum = yum + "--enablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "
elif response is "n" or response is "N":
  yum = yum + "--disablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "
else:
  yum = yum + "--enablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "

getroot = raw_input("This program requires root access, run as root? (Y/n)")
  if getroot is "n" or getroot is "N":
    exit()

and that

Let's see what happens, I don't have ifplugd installed from Dag's repo and I need it since this is my laptop.

[$ rpm -qa |grep ifplugd
$

Not here, move on to install

$ yumrepo install ifplugd
This program requires root access, run as root? (Y/n)n
$

That works, now, didn't on the last one.

i dont get why it's not workin, add a "print yum" before system(yum) and it will show you the command it's passing. If should be passing --disable-repo=fedora-us

and the command seemed fine here.

iphitus · November 15, 2004

Ohms: == and is are equivalent, changing them does nothing.

It isnt working because I made an indentation mistake, this:

yum="yum "
for f in repolist:      
  response = raw_input("Use repository: " + f[:-5] + "? (Y/n)")
if response == "y" or response == "Y":
  yum = yum + "--enablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "
elif response == "n" or response == "N":
  yum = yum + "--disablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "
else:
  yum = yum + "--enablerepo=" + f[:-5] + " "

the if clauses within the for, should be indented further.

Anyway, i modified it to use execvp instead of system.

 execvp("yum",yum)

 main()

it'll work now, because it wasnt indented, only the first option was being read.
