How about shipping the block list in the repository metadata and modifying yum-plugin-priorities to read it and insert the blocks into the priority dictionary just like packages? I think that would give the right semantics. (I'm not prepared to contribute now. I'm just having fun speculating and hoping that if we reach a solution that is easy enough to be worthwhile, someone will implement it. Is there a better list for this discussion?) -- Matt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
