Would the first solution involves more overhead (hitting the yum repositories twice)? For the second, I guess if I do this often enough I could use a custom yum.conf. There's no directive for yum.conf to source the content of another file, is there? (So to be safe I'd probably use a script to copy the current yum.conf, add the group_package_types, use and discard) -- Michel Salim http://hircus.wordpress.com/ My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed. -- Christopher Morley _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
