Will the new yum finctionality be able to handle the following ... 1) User installs package foo, but not package emacs-foo, as he doesn't have emacs installed. 2) User installs emacs ... where at step 2, it would be nice if yum would suggest but not mandate installing emacs-foo. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
