Hi, A little more of clarification :) ... In some wiki pages say that the protectbase and priorities yum plugins can not be used together. It seems that the next paragraph must be updated: ====> Always beware when using/mixing 3rd-party repos. The yum protectbase and/or priorities plugins are your friends.

I'm following the instructions on this URL http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RT_3.4.x_On_CentOS_4.x and came across the part that said "WARNING: RT overwrites some packages from the base distribution, especially mod_perl" How exactly do I "protect" the RT repository? It links to the "ProtectBase" program http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/ProtectBase

Hi I have 2 machines with RHEL 5.2 and I would like to use CentOS repos. I would like to know if the document "Using CentOS Repositories on RHEL Machines"[1] can be used in CentOS 5.2 without too much modifications. Thanks Marcelo [1] http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/YumOnRHEL

"The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about 'yum priorities' in September 2009: Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities.

Ok.. I'm way behind the 8-ball on setting things up correctly, but after going over the protection things in yum, I ran a yum check-update and it returned with having 318 files excluded because of protection. Is that too high a number? I have the numerical protection set to 1. Is there a good tutorial about how to correctly set up the protect base. Sorry if this is a noobie question..

Hi, I'm looking for some documentation (or advice) on how to best manage a -mostly- upstream binary compatible CentOS installation. I enabled the rpmforge repository in order to install a few packages not available in base/updates/centosplus.

I just build Wine-20020605 from source using gcc-3.1.1 (20020701 snapshot), binutils-1.12.1, glibc-2.2.5 on Slackware 8.0 w/ 2.4.18 kernel, XFree86 4.0.3 and Mesa 4.0.3 installed.
