yum include?!?

[valent.turkovic at gmail.com]

Hi,
I was looking for a way to use ONLY specific packages from some repos,
and exclude everything else. There are some repos that have just one
or two packages I want/need.
I don't want other packages conflicting others in fedora repos. Is
there a way to exclude everything except few specific packages?

I found post [1] suggesting to use "yum --disablerepo=*
--enablerepo=name --exclude=!my_package*" but that doesn't work.

So is there another way?

It would be a great feature for yum or new yum-plugin to have both
--exclude and --include options

Cheers,
Valent.
