How hard would it be to "cherry-pick" from this backports repository? To install a newer Firefox from there for example, but keep the PostgreSQL from the ordinary Fedora even if there is a newer one in the backports repository, and with a simple "yum update" receive bugfixes to PostgreSQL from fedora- updates and new Firefox versions from the backports repository? If the backports repository would be an "all or nothing" thing, or if cherry- picking would require special tweaking of Yum, then it's a bad idea. Björn Persson
