Setting 'installonlypkgs' from the repository?

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to force packages to be
"installonly" from the repository or if I have to make sure that every
user has a correct "installonlypkgs=" directive in their .repo file.

I found a python script in the archives for listing which packages are
installonly, and on my Fedora 7 system this defaults to the kernel
packages. Yet, the kmod-nvidia package from Livna for instance seems
to be installonly as well (I've got two of these installed matching my
kernels), and there is no installonlypkg directive in the livna.repo
file. I also couldn't find anything in the livna repodata dictating
that the kmod-nvidia package should be installonly.

How does this work? Does the kmod-nvidia package become installonly
because it requires another package that is installonly (the kernel)?

Regards,
