They're simply additions to the basic yum functionality. They're not
critical to your upgrade process, although they are useful additions to
yum and I'd consider installing them. For a full list of yum's plugins,
try "yum list yum-plugin*". You can get information on what they do by
using "yum info name-of-plugin", e.g.
[root@bigdog ~]# yum info yum-plugin-rpm-warm-cache.noarch
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Available Packages
Name : yum-plugin-rpm-warm-cache
Arch : noarch
Version : 1.1.28
Release : 1.fc13
Size : 9.2 k
Repo : updates
Summary : Yum plugin to access the rpmdb files early to warm up
: access to the db
URL : http://yum.baseurl.org/download/yum-utils/
License : GPLv2+
Description : This plugin reads the rpmdb files into the system cache
: before accessing the rpmdb directly. In some cases this
: should speed up access to rpmdb information
Oh, and in the future, this list (and most others I've seen) would
prefer if you'd include a subject line when you post a new message.
You didn't on your message, so I'm adding one.
