Tarjei, If you look closely at the name of the kmod-nvidia package, that's not the full name. The full name on each one is distinct and it matches the kernel version to which it is tied. It is not being set to installonly from the repo and to my knowledge, there is not a way to do this.
Hi Brian, Hmm, I don't see what you mean... (maybe I'm being dense) If I do a rpm -qi kmod-nvidia I get two entries: Name : kmod-nvidia Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 100.14.09 Vendor: rpm.livna.org Release : 1.2.6.21_1.3194.fc7 Build Date: Sun 10 Jun 2007 06:06:32 Name : kmod-nvidia Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 100.14.09 Vendor: rpm.livna.org Release : 1.2.6.21_1.3228.fc7 Build Date: Thu 14 Jun 2007 01:03:19 Same name, same version, different releases, the second one installed instead of updated after a 'yum update'... Thanks for the info about the repo part, guess I'll just have to add a 'my-release.noarch' rpm containing the .repo files to keep things the way they should be (hopefully).
