Thanks for the wonderful insight. I’ll check/read the entire concept of packaging and then will see what can be done to sort out this problem.

Tried it on F9 and it seems to work (I’d already tweaked the SELinux settings when I installed 0.3). It should be noted that one should mv RPM packages in the spool directory to the new rpm/ subdirectory so as not to lose them.

Unfortunately, your assumption 7. is not valid when packages can get signed/resigned. For example, Rawhide packages are replaced with signed versions for test releases and releases which are then put in the same location. And how does IntelligentMirror cope with the Fedora newkey resigning? Does it compare the whole URL (not just the file name)?

Thanks. I forgot to mention that.
