Here's how I set up my repository priorities, with some questions,<br>and request for comments on whether there are better ways of doing<br>things. I'm running on CentOS 5, some of the repositories do not<br>exist, some exist but are empty, etc.
<br><br>Depending on whether I am in production, test, or development,<br>various subsets of these may be enabled/disabled.<br><br>Priority 1<br><br> base<br> updates<br> fasttrack<br> <br> These all need to be at the same level so they can replace one another.
<br> <br> Saw some indciations that fasttrack might be CentOS4 only. But there is<br> a Cento5 repo, currently empty<br><br>Priority 2<br><br> addons<br> csgfs<br> centosplus<br> contrib<br> extras
<br> epel<br><br> addons exists for CentOS5, but is currently empty. Will anything ever<br> appear here?<br><br> contrib and csgfs do not exist for CentOS5. I wonder about csgfs, it<br> sounded interesting but I never took a close look at it. What happened
<br> to this stuff, did it vanish or move to a different repo?<br><br> I'm assuming contrib is gone forever in CentOS5.<br><br> epel exists, but not ready for prime time? I'm assuming that<br> when it is ready it will go here.
