Well, not sure. Is there some way to put the repo files in a doc space or something and only get repoquery to use them, not normal dnf commands? I can't think of how to make it work, but perhaps dnf people could? could we request a special /etc/dnf/repoquery.d/ dir or something? Failing that, can they at least have a big comment block explaining that you shouldn't use them to install any packages with? kevin
