Read the yum list - If someone wants to implement this go for it. yum-arch -s indexes the src.rpms too. I have some other fish to fry before I get to this one. > 2.

Again, read the yum list, hard and fast rule, - I won't implement --force or --nodeps. Darkness lies in that path. > 3.

There the same package, two different versions, one of which is greater, how would you want it to know which sets to look for newer on? -sv
