Bug #6487
closedAvoid waiting on lock when calling yum
Added by Benoît PECCATTE over 9 years ago. Updated about 2 years ago.
Description
Add --setopt=exit_on_lock=True to all yum calls
Updated by Nicolas CHARLES over 8 years ago
This sounds pretty interesting !
However, on which version is it available?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861250 seems to mention that RHEL6 has it, but maybe not first versions of RHEL ...
is there a way to detect if the feature exists ?

According to http://illiterat.livejournal.com/8221.html the --setopt option was only introduced in RHEL 6.1's yum.
However, that option is just a wrapper to make it possible to change config values from yum.conf on the command line. So maybe we can set it via yum.conf (or a temporary yum.conf) before that version...
However, according to http://lists.baseurl.org/pipermail/yum-devel/2010-June/007087.html, it seems that the "exit_on_lock" option was only added after --setopt, so no.
But I have found a solution: yum versions without the --setopt option complain when it is used, and yum versions with it but when passed a specific option that is not in the main config, it complains too. So by running:
yum --setopt=exit_on_lock=True 2>&1 | grep -E "(Command line error: no such option: --setopt|Main config did not have a exit_on_lock attr. before setopt)"
If the command returns 0, that means the option is not supported.
Note: this works even if yum's lock is already obtained, because there is no yum command (so the first command will return 1, and not even try to take the lock)
