Description of problem:
For me, it would be very useful when manking an upgrade of Fedora distribution to have an option that allows to exclude packages to upgrade. 
I have some packages installed from source, sometimes from CVS and I don't want to override my current installation with Fedora RPMs.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
    

Expected Results:  Have an option to choose the packages that wont be upgraded.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2004-06-07 03:31:45 UTC 
Installing things from source into /usr is a bad bad bad idea.  It's
highly recommended you install these under /usr/local or /opt so that
they don't interfere with the package managed applications. 
anaconda's not going to grow hacks to work around this.
