I'm guessing though it would require yum to keep a database of its own to know what came from where - which would be way to fragile because anything not installed by yum would not be in there. So unless yum has another way to figure out what packages come from where, it probably is never going to be optimal and therefore never implemented. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
