"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. There are so many things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl." This note was placed on the wiki

Just to recap my other three questions: 1) I have a block of 25 DIDs and have 10 phones on the network. I want when a person tries to call out for * to pick a number for the CIDN and I want to make sure that the number isn't duplicated while it's in use. 2) What do these two notices mean?

Just upgraded my perl-DBD-SQLite rpmforge package to 1.25 which resulted in all applications trying to use it to fail. As it turns out the following happened: Newer versions of DBD::SQLite need a DBI version of at least 1.57. The rpmforge package *does* include this requirement. However, CentOS includes DBI 1.52 and doesn't provide newer versions. As a good administrator I'm using yum

rpmforge has just released a new perl-DBD-mysql for el4 that has an obsoletes against perl-DBD-MySQL and the protectbase yum plugin doesn't grok obsoletes. the priorities plugin does. so if you are having issues with this, install the yum-plugin-priorities first, make sure that the CentOS-Base repo is priority 1 and the rpmforge repo is priority 2 or higher (99 is the default). also,

On 28 July, I changed from ProtectBase to Priorities. I kept unusually detailed notes that day. Yesterday, when I added the RPMForge respository, so I could install MPlayer, I found that the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf file no longer exists. I'm not sure how that happened. Question: Is there a way to regenerate that file? TIA -- Lanny

Hi, I've been regularly using the Yum Priorities plugin for the last decade or so. Apparently it has been obsoleted with CentOS 8. I've googled around for replacements, and there is some conflicting or otherwise misleading information about it. I'm aware the late Yum developer Seth Vidal had a bad opinion of priorities. This being said, I like the idea of third party repositories

Hey, I ran into a yum conflict regarding an repoforge extra package obsoleting a base package. The thing is that I set a lower priority to repoforge extra... Any idea how come I ran into this issue...? The question is more about the yum priorities than repoforge. ... 1743 packages excluded due to repository priority protections ... --> Running transaction check ---> Package

In the yum priorities page on the wiki Akemi Yagi suggests http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities [base], [addons], [updates], [extras] ... priority=1 [centosplus],[contrib] ... priority=2 Third Party Repos ... priority=N (where N is > 10 and based on your preference) If you have rpmforge, kbs, epel all set up at 10 then wouldn't those also potentially overwrite

I am looking for yum-priorities or any info on any changes here for CentOS 5.4. There is also a forum post for this here: <https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22798&forum=37> Is this missing on purpose? Function merged with another yum package? Or is it just missing as an oversight? -- //Morten //morten at mortent.org

Hi All, I have put the priorities plugin online at: http://danieldk.org/code/yum/ This plugin allows you to associate priorities to repositories. Packages from high-priority repositories are protected from being upgraded with packages from low-priority repositories. Instructions can be found in the README file, read the part about "check_obsoletes" with care. Please keep in mind that

Hi all, I just installed 5.4 on a machine here... All seems running fine, except I decided to put on the extra repositories - and as usual I decided to install yum-priorities (as directed here: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge ) but it seems like this package is nowhere to be found. Does anybody know why this would be? Thanks. Boris.

If I add priority=1 to [updates] in CentOS-Base.repo when I run "sudo yum update" I get the warning 66 packages excluded due to repository priority protections This does not seem to have any adverse effect, but what exactly does it mean? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2,

Hi, I am using the yum priorities plugin and, for some reason, it is blocking all rpmforge updates, even for already installed rpmforge packages... I have priority=1 for CentOS repos. Is it the 'normal' behavior or is something wrong in my conf? Thx, JD

Hello all! I've recently started using the priorities plugin as part of my best practices. It's very effective, and prevents nasty things from happening (like atrpms upgrading python and disabling yum.) I'm wondering if there's a simple and elegant way to allow package-name-based exclusions. For example: For my mysql cluster, I'd prefer to have the latest mysql and

Hello, I have a question about working principles of yum. Here are the details: Installed package: GeoIP.i386 1.4.4-1.el5.centos Repo: CentOS Extras Priority for CentOS Extras repo: 1 "yum update" wants to replace the above package with the following: Package: geoip.i386 1.4.5-1.el5.rf Repo: rpmforge Priority for rpmforge: 15 And yes, the following is already in the priorities.conf

Suppose I want to upgrade a bunch of packages on a system, but in case the upgrade produces unexpected, undesired results, I want to be able to rollback the system to its original state. What is the best way to do that? Often, I won't have, or be able to find, packages for the current installed versions. I.e. If I haven't upgraded postgres for 2 years, it may be that I can no longer
