Hi,
b) yum has already some group functionality (groupinstall, groupupdate,
groupremove, groupinfo) that is based on an XML file that is kept in the
repository. But the option --exclude only acts on file names, we need a
--groupexclude.
We already have a "Java" group, with only 2 packages on it:
# yum groupinfo Java
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Group Process
Setting up repositories
Group: Java
Description: Support for running programs written in the Java
programming language.
Mandatory Packages:
libgcj
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat
We could just make sure all Java packages are in the Java group to make
use of the yum group functionality.
We just need the --groupexclude.
I will try and create a patch to add a '--groupexclude' as soon as I
finish with the rpm one.
why do you need a 'groupexclude' option? I guess I don't understand the
use case for it, yet.
