Can we have per-source 'skip.list's ? This has just shown up, since we run samba-server-ldap (requires samba-common-ldap), which obsoletes and provides samba-server (and vice versa) to allow users to move from one to the other. All goes well however, until you get a security update for samba, and it installs samba-server over samba-server-ldap and we have downtime while I scp samba-server-ldap packages to the server .... and add samba-server to the skip.list but now that I have newer ldap-enable builds (will be on ftp.samba.org soon), I would have to take samba-server out of the skip list again. I think this would be useful for people using (for example) PLF sources? You could put 'mplayer' in /etc/urpmi/skip-cooker.list (for cooker source).
