Hey folks,
I'm setting up some kickstart files for our standard configs, and need
to install munin-node, which of course does not come from you folks,
So I set up the Dag Wieers repository but in the repo file I set it to
"disabled" so that it will never get used by mistake.
Then when adding munin-node I do :
yum --enablerepo=dag -y install munin-node
But that pulls in a bunch of dependencies. And I'm not sure where it
will pull them from. I know that Dag has basically everything, but I
only want to get munin-node from there.
How do I ensure this happens? I could do a hack and now that I have
a list of dependencies I could precede the above call with another to
add those, but keep Dag repo turned off.
But I'd sooner understand more on how it works :-)
thanks,
-Alan

This will make sure that nothing is pulled from it unless it is not available in the main repositories. You can use the "exclude=" setting on the base repositories if there is something there that you would rather get elsewhere. -- Bowie
