From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041104 Firefox/1.0RC2 Description of problem: I would like to see an option of installing packages required in new default/base installation. Example: When you upgrade to the recent yum, a new package fedora-rawhide-something.rpm has to be installed in order to get the yum.repos.d directory. From Core X to Core Y release, some packages are being added to the package sets as required, because they introduce vital new functionality. I would like to have these packages when upgrading. Either via an extra option or via normal depencencies, e.g. fedora-rawhide-something.rpm should be required by newer yums. This makes updating much easier. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: xxx Additional info:
why not use groupupdate "Base" "Core" that should give you new packages in either.
Hm, do these groups exist?

yum grouplist hidden they're hidden groups
Thanks, that sounds good, although it isn't documented. :)
You're right, it's not. If you have the time and would like to write up a patch to the manpages I'd appreciate it.
I'm going to close this as notabug b/c it technically isn't. Just poorly documented.
