Hi David,
I found that wildcard matching works for the --enablerepos, so I made a tweak so
that it matches all debuginfo repos. The explicit version specified in rpm
should avoid trying to pull in every possible kernel-devel, kernel-debuginfo
rpm. The script works for fedora machines now with the bonus that the script is
one line shorter. :) I did a git push so the script is available from the git repo.
