As I said previously the git checkout of zif gives me a repodata directory that is not self-consistent with regard to repomd.xml checksums. That's a problem. I would appreciate it if you could perhaps publish a http url for your test repo data that you trust from a validity standpoint (not a safe to use standpoint) that I can then poke at with any number of tools that know how to interact with repomd data. But right now, the breadcrumb starting point you gave me is a non-starter. If repomd and the sqlite db arent actually consistent, I can't do anything useful with that. But putting that aside for a minute. I'm interested in asking zif a series of more complicated real world Fedora repository questions to get a better understanding how your chosen scoring rules currently work in practise. For example.... if I go to install paprefs package on an F15 system, under what circumstances will zif prefer to install kpackagekit and in what circumstances will it prefer to install gnome-packagekit to meet the PackageKit-session-service requirement which they both provide? If a system has KDE installed by not GNOME will zif choose to install kpackagekit? If a system has GNOME installed but not KDE will zif choose gnome-packagekit? If neither gnome or kde is installed...what does zif choose? And yes these are valid questions as my F15 system doesn't need kpackagekit or gnome-packagekit installed for either desktop's normal operation or via a yum groupinstall execution from a system that starts out with neither. -jef
