Here's a thought - if the daily rawhide report comes with a list of
broken dependencies, it probably wouldn't take much for it to also
include the yum command line needed to update everything not affected by
the broken deps. Or yum itself could have a --exclude-broken-deps ...
Broken deps are always going to be a fact of life with rawhide - it'd
be nice if didn't suck up too much time for people, though.
Cheers,
Mark.
I'm for something like either option. I was more for an option for yum
to update everything where deps were rational, then output the available
but not upgradable rpms.
