Probably you > have already thought of that. I gave it some thought. I haven't tested anything. Existing magic should work for most installs since there's still a "kernel" package and that's what yum keys off of. If/when we do this, I'll certainly test more carefully to make sure. That brings up a question though, how often would cloud expect to do a yum update of individual packages as opposed to just updating the entire image? If we expect the 3 kernel magic to work there, then some changes to yum/dnf may be required given that Cloud would be explicitly specifying "kernel-core" and not "kernel". josh _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
