WORKSFORME. Perhaps you can provide details on what doesn't seem to work
for you?
Wow. it does work :). I remember trying this in FC3 and it would not
ignore a package from a repo but I guess it must have been a typo or
something on my part.
It would be nice to have the opposite
of that too so that you could state that only the packages I list here
should be updated from this specific repository(sometimes you just want a
few packages from a certian repo.
That's what "includepkgs" is for.
Hmmm... what other features can I think of that will just materialize
with the next reply. Kitchen sinks seem to come to mind :).
Thanks for the information... Both of those features are well
documented in the man page... I should have looked again before posting.
I somehow missed them last time I browsed the man page in FC3.
