Another option, one I'd need to implement is groupremove. Then you could remove a package from group1 that you run groupupdate on while adding a package to group2 that you run groupremove on. hmm That is plainly useful. I think I'll do that. > Don't get me wrong, I like yum :-) I ditched apt-rpm for it and use it > at home.
