Ok but i have a problem with yum (i'm in fc2) : i have some packages
from at and newrpms (about 20) and all others are from fedora, dag and
freshrpms. In standard, i comment the part concerning at and newrpms
repo in /etc/yum.conf and do night updates with yum. But when i want to
update the packages from at and newrpms, i have to uncomment the part
concerning these repos and i have to launch yum update followed by the
names of the 20 packages. i can't just launch yum update because in this
case a lot of fedora, dag and freshrpms packages would be updated too.
Is there a mean to do this simplier in fc2 and will it be possible in
fc3.
I hope i explain my problem correctly.
Eric
