Hi, As Yum is very handy, it gets harder and harder as time pasts to go to the sites and download RPMs manually, so here I propose the following features. Let me know if they are already implemented / there's something wrong with them / ...: 1. Some way to install SRPMs. When you are testing a distro, it comes quite handy to install the SRPM with a single yum command when you find a bug and want to look at. 2. A way to force reinstall of a package. If by any chance I get one of my packages corrupted, the way I do right now is to rpm -e --nodeps it and then yum install. 3. A way to find out which repo contains the currently installed version of a package. It comes quite handy when you want to install SRPMs. Currently I have to guess, or go around all repos. 4. A way to downgrade a package (say for the moment, that's ok if update overrides that). On a side note: Is there any way, to keep updated on both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels? Without renaming one of the to say kernel2.6-...? behdad
