Last week I tried moving to updates-testing in order to test latest KDE on
F7. The resulting kernel update was mismatched with kernel-devel so I could
not install the nvidia drivers. My suggestion is this. Would it be
possible to segregate updates according to package type (similiar to the
SUSE buildservice) or even just along the lines of Desktop (KDE/GNOME/etc
and deps) and System( kernel etc.) so testing bleeding edge packages from
one package group won't break other system packages?
Not to derail your idea, but is this necessarily anything that `yum
--enablerepo=updates-testing --exclude=kernel\* upgrade` wouldn't fulfill?
At this point my brain started muttering something about "hey, wouldn't a
`yum groupupgrade` command be awesome?" Which led me to look at the yum
man page...which fails me. It only has groupupdate. *sad panda*
Seth, would `groupupgrade` be a simple add-on? Or just pointless? Not
sure if obsoletes are important enough...
So yeah, in summary, I'm guessing `yum --enablerepo=updates-testing
groupupdate "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"` will do what you want.
