As a slight tangent, you can use install with groups, you
just need to prefix them with the @ symbol, e.g.:
yum install @development-group @development-libs
(Or for the lazy bash types: yum install @development-{group,lib} ;)
Turns out yum installs the latest version of things it is
asked to install -- and this can be an issue when installing
kernel-headers and kernel-devel for the purpose of building
kernel modules. Even if yum install of kernel stuff is done
on the machine on which the to-be-built kernel module will be
deployed, the kernel stuff installed by yum might not match
(might be newer than) the kernel of the calling machine!
