I guess the use of repoquery for rawhide is quite common for Fedora developers who want to inspect the impact of updating their packages. Also I guess at least the selective installation of some Rawhide package might be quite common to verify bugfixes. Imho the danger of accidently breaking the system is a lot higher if there is a package that will auto-destruct the system with the next yum update than it is with the current setup, where a manual change of a config file is required. > > It will probably also auto break systems that just > > install everything, which is also not nice. > > I don't think it's possible to 'install everything'. > There are a number of packages in the collection that conflict. > Or do you have some other meaning for 'everything'? I believe that I have read about people installing everything except for conflicting packages to find some packaging bugs, e.g. non explicit conflicts. Regards Till
