Sounds easy enough in principle. Where do I find the full syntax and usage of the
"exclude" directive?
man dnf.conf under the section "OPTIONS FOR BOTH [MAIN] AND REPO". The
directive
is actually excludepkgs.
I'm about to make my upgrade. Knowing I can activate another repo to provide
makemkv--and keep it up-to-date--should make my life a little easier, on balance.
What's the best way to activate the negativo repo when doing a clean install?
That information is available on the
https://negativo17.org website. I would simply
"activate" their repo after an install or after an upgrade.
