No, it will never be in base / updates, it will be in centosplus (after
we move it out of testing).

How you can get JUST the RPMS you want and no others is to use yum (and
not up2date) for the centosplus repo ...

When we move it to the centosplus repo, in your
"/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo" file, you would change the
centosplus section of the file to look like this:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------
#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
includepkgs=postgresql* compat-postgresql-libs*
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
------------------------------------------------------------------

the only lines that are changed from default are the "enabled=" and the
"includepkgs=" lines ...

If you want to have any files except postgresql* and compat-postgreqsl-
libs*, you will need to add them to the "includepkgs=" line ... because
after use "includepkgs=", yum will only install the packages on that
line from the that repo.

DO NOT USE up2date for the centosplus repo, as it will not honor the
"includepkgs=" line and install all packages from the repo, not just
those listed.  Updates to the CentOSPlus repo will also not show up in
the CentOSNetwork Applet if you use it.

if you are using a different mirror than mirror.centos.org ... you can
include the other mirror URLS instead of mirror.centos.org.
