- You can give a package pattern '--repo <repo> 'kernel*' to restrict the set.

- '--repo <repo> '*' is similar to disabling the repo. The difference is that 
disabled repos are not loaded and do not consume any memory, OTOH their 
packages are not visible to the solver and for queries.

Using 'solvable_identical' should be good enough. We use it in other locations 
as well and it works fine.

(checks name, arch, evr, vendor, buildtime and requires)
