similar to: Update among protected repos (with yum-protectbase-plugin)

Have followed all instructions, googled and read Johnny's November post, went to Duke (not physically, web-spherically, although it's only 45 minutes away),... and still can't see how I have protectbase operational. Installed: [root at wlmlfs08 ~]# yum -C --disablerepo=rpmforge list|grep yum centos-yumconf.noarch 4-4.5 installed yum.noarch

Alle, I have installed and enabled (I think) the yum protectbase plugin: [cwfox at lurker ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i protectbase yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1-1.c4 [cwfox at lurker ~]$ cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/protectbase.conf [main] enabled = 1 [cwfox at lurker ~]$ grep plugin /etc/yum.conf plugins=1 [cwfox at lurker ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo <SNIP> [base]

This is a public thank you, to whoever wrote the Wiki's for adding 3rd party repositories, ProtectBase and Priorities. Clear, excellent, step by step instructions. I did this late last night and I missed the thing that Priorities is the recommended plugin, so I will change to that, from ProtectBase. :-) Lanny

I've been trying out the protectbase plugin for yum, and haven't yet determined the best way to selectively update a package. E.g. I'd like to mark the base repo as protected, but get the latest firefox from the centosplus repo. What's the correct incantation for this?

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. Although both can be used together, using protectbase is probably unnecessary if

Hi; On my Fedora Systems [/etc/yum.repos.d] I have the following repos: dag.repo dries.repo fedora-extras.repo fedora.repo fedora-updates.repo freshrpms.repo livna.repo Two questions: 1) Where can I get a .repo file (with centos url's of course) for the baseic stuff like updates and extras. 1b) Can I use redhat repos? 2) What about the other guys, livna, dag, dries, freshrpms. Which one of

Hi Ralph, I'll be here the next 8 hours, maybe a little more ;) just tell me when/how could we start Spanish wiki content. BTW, happy holiday :) Cheers, al.

I note that duke.edu matches uk, and unl.edu matches nl.

Are the problems with yum in the Centos 4.3->>4.4 upgrade process due to a forked or obsolete version of yum? I briefly scanned <https://lists.dulug.duke.edu> and didn't see any problems, but did see some incidents regarding yum hangs reported about a year ago. regarding the current upgrade, Seth Vidal in

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

All, We are currently testing the yum-utils and yum-utils-plugins in the dev.centos.org repository. The two main plugins that this allows that I think would be great for normal users are protectbase and fastestmirror. See the announcement on the centos-devel list for details: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2005-November/000947.html Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next

Hello, Does anybody knows a way to keep updated mixed repositories without mixing them ? For Example i have 3 repos in my desktop centos system , Centos repos handled by up2date Dag repo handled by apt and Karan repo handled by yum. I need packages from each repo but i don't want the secondary repos to mess my system so i never update with these repos. is there a way each tool (up2date,

Hi, On CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (2.6.18-92) the yum security plugin seem to not working. If I try "yum update --security" nothing is done. Is there something to configure ? All the following packages are installed on my system. yum.noarch 3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 installed yum-aliases.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed

Hi, Is it not ok to use both plugins at the same time? I have read from the wiki page of centos that you must use only either protect base or priorities plugin. I have been using the the config file below for months and did not encounter any problems. I used priority=1 and protect=1 on base and updates (addons,extras protect=1 ; set no priorities) for the CentOS-Base repo and on the rpmforge

The docs in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/ do not reflect yum of today ie the yum plugins. Where can updated yum docs be found? By browsing lists such as fedora-devel, centos one can see how the plugins have "stumbled in" but newbies/anyone wanting to pickup on the new features has nothing to read. Note there are yumex docs at the above location but my query relates to yum $

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Well, it seems like my gnome terminal can't interpret Korean translations very well. Or maybe it can and I don't know how to confirm it ?
