A future version of up2date may include support for installing "comps" (aka, stuff like "gnome workstation" or "news server" from the installer...) and/or package groups (aka, "Games", "Applications/Databases", "Applications/Multimedia", etc). If you go this sort of route, maybe add a package file on cd or something so that you can tell what packages go with what comps or system or whatever it is. Maybe even include it in the rpm package to look it up like you can a file to a package, except add a what package to what comps or whatever. Example.. rpm -qp kdebase would show it belongs to comps KDE or whatever. While at it: adding support for wildcards would go some way towards the same result. Something like "update kde.\*" which would install all the packages beginning with "kde" and their dependencies. *** Bug 28585 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** ping fedora has support for both "comps" and globs, aka up2date "kde*" or `up2date "@KDE Desktop Environment"` |
