Explaining: "Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum." - James Antill. Ustr, micro string API. And-httpd - simple, fast and secure. Jan 22nd, 2010. Explaining: "Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.". What does it mean? That someone has hacked your machine and altered the rpmdb maliciously, it would have to be done poorly to trigger this warning. Why has yum started to emit this warning?

Ustr, micro string API. And-httpd - simple, fast and secure. Sep 26th, 2011. For a long time I've wanted to be able to do an "XML grep" on XML data, where I see just the nodes I care about in an XML file. After recently hitting this problem again, I found out about xmlstarlet and after a lot of work I managed to get what I wanted. So I figured I'd write it down, for both of us:. I'll explain each line of the above:. Ateinfo.xml } - The XML file to operate on (if it's missing it default to stdin.

Ustr, micro string API. And-httpd - simple, fast and secure. Oct 8th, 2009. Multiple problems with multiple versions.

So I decided to write this, instead of replying N times to all the different requests. Aug 29th, 2008. Programming with Yum in 5 minutes, or so. This creates a yum instance, that you can work with. Then one more piece, that is very useful:. May 6th, 2008. So as the Fedora Pyt...

Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks - James Antill. Ustr, micro string API. And-httpd - simple, fast and secure. Jul 31st, 2009. Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks. Or why I hate "quick benchmarks". Recently I've started to see a lot more of what I'd call "quick benchmarks", often it's to do with yum. More work than quick benchmarks). A couple of yum examples. Another common problem is to compare something like "apt-cache search" / "apt-file search" against "yum search" / "yum provides", the problem here is tha...
