I think you misunderstood. I meant make the packages conflict at the
rpm level. (It's a simple matter of putting the right Requires: or
Conflicts: line(s) in the spec.) That way yum wouldn't try to upgrade
xorg until the driver package was upgraded.
Yes i think this is the best solution for nvidia.ko users. Use the livna
package and rely on an explicit versioned Requires:. This will act as a
"reminder" to add the proper --excludes if you try to run a 'yum -y
update' during an uncaffeinated morning. Now I guess we just need new
maintainer for the livna package...
