Can't we go further and have a tool that proactively looks at cross-repo conflicts when a new repo is enabled so users can get a summary of exactly those packages which may be replaced before the actual package management action takes place? I am weary of any dialog that happens during an actual package management operation. If a user want to install package foo and gets this.. are they really going to feel compelled to stop and think about it or are they going to just going to treat it like a pointless eula-like nag dialog and click through? I'd rather see this sort of information stuff happen at repo enabling before any user directed package management action is attempted. Do you plan to treat the fedora-core-updates and fedora-core-updates-testing fedora-core-development repos in the same way as 3rd party repos with this nag dialog? And if you have a mechanism to suppress this dialog for these fedora branded repos which replace packages from fedora-core-base, isn't that mechanism easily subverted by any 3rd party who wishes to turn that dialog off for their repo? -jef -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
