Description

Notice that my point about Yumex is that there's no option to use the --best and propably also --allowerasing parameters as in cli command of dnf. if a normal dnf update can't handle it, then yumex-dnf will also fail. I don't know if it is a good idea to add options like --best and --allowerasing to yumex-dnf. In the strange cases to user sould properly fallback to using dnf cli. Maybe an user-friendly option that solves this issue is to explicitly exclude available updates of any kernel* packages [¹] in the suggestion list to be pre-selected? Also, those kernel list entries could have a special color to warn about the exclusion [²]. I am aware that dnf plugins (like protected packages) won't work in Yumex but it could simulate a similiar behaviour and read dnf's configuration. ¹ https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-Manually_Upgrading_the_Kernel.html ² https://dnf-plugins-core.readthedocs.org/en/latest/protected_packages.html Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19.
