Which works to a point. I suspect many of these complaints would be
addressed if there was a relatively simple way to save the current
package list, then install some packages to experiment, then to revert
to the saved package list. Could probably be done with come clever
shell scripting, if nothing else.
e.g.
yum install yum-protect-packages
mkdir /etc/sysconfig/protected-packages.d
rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' > /etc/sysconfig/protected-packages.d/foo.list
The 'revert' part can go many ways - cut/paste from "rpm -qa --last |
more", grab pkg names from /var/log/yum.log, some creative thing from
seth, etc.
