So, your patch is fine - but I'm trying to figure out where to draw the line for options like these. I understand excludedocs - but if excludedocs comes in, why not --nodeps or --replacefiles? I'm wondering if it wouldn't be worthwhile to have a yum rpm macros file so anything that anyone wants to set for the default yum rpm transaction set flags can be set there and not clutter up the yum config file with rpmts-specific actions. Thoughts? -sv
