I am installing the ClamAV package from Dag''s depository. Is it
possible to configure Yum to get specific packages only from a
particular depository? The reason that I ask this is that I do not
want to get any updates from http://dag.wieers.com/packages other
than for the particular packages that I install from there. I
would love to be able to run yum update and pick up the new clamav
packages but not if this also means updating things like webmin as
well.

I would like to selectively add packages from other repos without getting ALL of their updates. Right now I for clam I manually fetch dag''s package when a new version comes out. I sure would like an answer to this question. Thanks, Ajay

You could also technically do this with every single yum config so you would have to enable each repo explicitly if you wanted to ultimate in flexiblity (and annoyance). Jonathan

One with just the standard repositories and one with extras and dags, etc. When want to install or update something from the other repositories I run a basic script that looks like this. yum -c /etc/yum-extra.conf $1 $2

I sure would like an answer to this question.includepkgs - per repo configuration. just list pkg names (or even wildcards) you want. [myrepo] includepkgs=foo bar* baz* -sv
