ok, this is an important item that I don't think can be avoided :-/
What we could do is allow both dkms and kmod packages in the repository
(and consequently on the system), and make it more apparent which one is
being used in this scenario.
doesn't sound so good in the long run, I'ld be confused if I came searching
for fuse support and were offered both dkms and kmod versions, with no
"obsoletes" to help me choose.
The current situation isn't so bad, it's only transitory and the solution is
simple - "yum install dkms-fuse" does it.
But a yum update starts downloading kernels one does not need.
For now, my conclusion is that pushing this tomorrow is not in scope :-/
Dag, it seems to already be in the public repos...?
Damn, I prepared this at 4am this morning which is normally after the
metadata creation window, but apparently it was still taken into
consideration. Maybe I miscalculated with GMT/UTC...
I have no clue what to do now though :-/
