yum源码分析

(1):yum clean的源码，在/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py 中 882行 
def cleanCli(self, userlist):
函数中.
支持的参数有:
yum clean:
header
packages
metadata
dbcache
expire-cache
plugins

针对不同的输入，会调用
self.cleanPackages()
self.cleanHeaders()
self.cleanMetadata()
self.cleanSqlite()
这几个函数，删除不同的项

然后我们在文件
/usr/lib/Python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py
中能够看到上面几个函数的实现:
ef cleanHeaders(self):
        exts = [‘hdr’]
        return self._cleanFiles(exts, ‘hdrdir’, ‘header’)

    def cleanPackages(self):
        exts = [‘rpm’]
        return self._cleanFiles(exts, ‘pkgdir’, ‘package’)
等等。
这几个clean函数都是通过封装 __cleanFiles来实现的，看看这个函数:
def _cleanFiles(self, exts, pathattr, filetype):
        filelist = []
        removed = 0
        for ext in exts:
            for repo in self.repos.listEnabled():
                repo.dirSetup()
                path = getattr(repo, pathattr)
                if os.path.exists(path) and os.path.isdir(path):
                    filelist = misc.getFileList(path, ext, filelist)

        for item in filelist:
            try:
                os.unlink(item)
            except OSError, e:
                self.logger.critical(_(‘Cannot remove %s file %s’), filetype, item)
                continue
            else:
                self.verbose_logger.log(logginglevels.DEBUG_4,
                    _(‘%s file %s removed’), filetype, item)
                removed+=1
        msg = _(‘%d %s files removed’) % (removed, filetype)
        return 0, [msg]
其实就是去对应的目录下删除文件而已。

可以如下测试:
修改代码段:
for item in filelist:
            try:
                print “====:”, item
                os.unlink(item)
添加打印，保存
然后先 yum list 生成cache
可以 yum list 看下生成的文件
tree
.
|– ops.5.i386
|   |– cachecookie
|   |– packages
|   |– primary.sqlite
|   `– repomd.xml
|– ops.5.noarch
|   |– cachecookie
|   |– packages
|   |– primary.sqlite
|   `– repomd.xml
`– rhel.5.i386
    |– cachecookie
    |– packages
    |– primary.sqlite
    `– repomd.xml
然后 sudo yum clean all
输出如下:
====: //var/cache/yum/ops.5.noarch/repomd.xml
====: //var/cache/yum/ops.5.i386/repomd.xml
====: //var/cache/yum/rhel.5.i386/repomd.xml
====: //var/cache/yum/ops.5.noarch/cachecookie
====: //var/cache/yum/ops.5.i386/cachecookie
====: //var/cache/yum/rhel.5.i386/cachecookie
====: //var/cache/yum/ops.5.noarch/primary.sqlite
====: //var/cache/yum/ops.5.i386/primary.sqlite
====: //var/cache/yum/rhel.5.i386/primary.sqlite
再去/va/cache/yum下tree下，看不到yum list 后的文件了
