I haven't tried it, but you can actually use yum to achieve #1. See 'man yum.conf' and read the section on repositories, and the options you can specify for them: exclude Same as the [main] exclude option but only for this repository. Substitution variables, described below, are hon‐ ored here. includepkgs Inverse of exclude. This is a list of packages you want to use from a repository. If this option lists only one package then that is all yum will ever see from the repository. Defaults to an empty list. Substitution variables, described below, are honored here. so you can edit the updates-testing repo definition to include a list of packages you want to test with 'includepkgs', and yum will only get *those* packages from updates-testing - it won't get anything else. I'm not sure if gnome-packagekit would honor the config. And, again, I haven't tested this. But it looks like what you want. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
