yum-installonlyn plugin

[bbfuller]

I'd like to check if this is just my systems or something more.

After a recent update I noticed that my file:

/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf

had been removed and replace by two files:

installonlyn.conf~
installonlyn.conf.rpmsave

and that Yum would not retain more than two kernels.

although I have remade an installonlyn.conf file Yum will still not take notice of it even though in Yumex the installonlyn plugin is listed as active.

I am convinced that when Yum started previously there was a line in the feedback output that said something along the lines of "loading installonlyn". That is not now present.

rpm -q yum-installonlyn

on my system tells me that it is not installed - I think it was a separate rpm at sometime?

Moreover, I can't find it in any of the usual repositories.

Any feedback welcome.

Hello:
The last updated yum package, several weeks ago, removed / disabled that plugin.
From: rpm -q --changelog yum-3.2.2-1.fc7
* Fri Jul 20 2007 Seth Vidal <skvidal at fedoraproject.org>
- 3.2.2
- disable unused installonlyn plugin
- set installonly_limit to '2'

If you wish to keep something other than the default 2 kernels, then
gedit /etc/yum.conf
and under the [main] section add
installonly_limit = N
Where N is the number of kernels you wish to keep installed until before the oldest one is automatically removed.

Thanks for that
