general yum-dump.py improvements

  • Environment:

    centos 5.6/rhel 4/fedora 14

Description

yum-dump.py isn't going away in the near future so lets improve it. Immediate issues are

  • trapping and handling errors with sane output readable in chef. python backtraces coming out of chef error output are hard to read.
  • stop using deprecated api methods
  • sorting output to help with debugging rather than just dumping the list verbatim
  • define some methods to make the thing more readable - get rid of the giant try/catch
  • test the thing as root/non root on centos 5.6/rhel 4/fedora 14 and try to create some config issues
