<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I would like to know how other repositories than the
official ones for CentOS 4 affect an update of a package if a package is present
in both repositories.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Will yum install the package that it finds having the
highest version number ? and if so, is there a mean to tell yum that we would
like to keep the preference to one repository instead of the highest version
number on a possibly other repository ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I ask that because I realise that having multiple
repositories added to yum might mix up things if the packages placed there are
compiled for newer versions, and even possibly create another system than CentOS
by updating several main common packages. That would do something between a
CentOS and a cAos distribution, is that right ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>For example, I would like to use Dag Wieers' repos, but I
am in fear that some mix up might happen if there are several same packages with
different versions than the official CentOS ones (and is it possible to have
same packages there? ).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
