similar to: RPMForge wiki page needs amendment

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

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,

CentOS is simply great. I use it as my main desktop. I use VMWare clients for any "special needs" software. I am struggling a bit with the plethora of repos and looking for some advice. Would you opine with detail on the best repo setup for a desktop CentOS 5? Comments: rpmforge provides fine rpms. kbsingh, google, adobe, kde-redhat, CentOS-Testing , CentOS-fastrack, epel,

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

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

Hello Akemi, I want to give support to CentOs user with any kind of issue, hence please suggest me what should I do for that. And also one thing I am new here so can suggest me the workflow.

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

Akemi, all is good now: I have the account in caps and have access to the Contribute tree of pages and my personal page. Thank you very much for your help and patience!

Hi Akemi, thank you so much for your help. So, the case sensitivity bit me again: my actual account name is all lower case: https://wiki.centos.org/tomastomecek (b/c that's also my FAS account name) I guess I can try creating an account with initials in caps or I'd need the perms for my lower case account. Don't have a preference. I just read my original email and realized that I

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

Hi, all : When I run "yum update" command in my laptop , it displayed this : root at foo Desktop]# yum update Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, fastestmirror, filter-data, keys, kmod, list-data, priorities, protect- : packages, protectbase, security, tmprepo, verify Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirrors.163.com * base: mirrors.163.com *

Thanks Yagi-san! So I was originally wondering how to fix some issues (e.g. typo) in the wiki, and I ended up finding this mailing list. Should I report the issue in the mailing list, and wait for someone with proper privileges to fix it? Or am I allowed to edit it by myself?

Thanks, Akemi. I still need the permissions though: "You are not allowed to edit this page.", the same holds for my personal page. I also cannot find precise documentation how to contribute to the wiki itself: I can see on this ML that git diffs of changes are being posted - should I open a PR to some repo or edit the wiki page directly?
