Re: [libreoffice-users] Installing LO using yum localinstall

Hi Andrew,

I have to admit I don't know much about the internal working of yum/dnf. 
When I install a new version of Fedora I "yum remove libreoffice*". I 
then install the latest version I am using "yum install *.rpm".

I have a cron job which runs "yum update" every night (in fact I have 
moved to "dnf update" recently). I have always thought that this update 
only affects applications I have installed via the repos. Hence no need 
to modify yum.conf in the way you suggest.

So far, so good.

Cheers
