Hi all,
We have added an updated yum-utils to the CentOS testing repository for CentOS 5. This package now provides the yum-repolist plugin/subpackage, which implements comparable functionality to the same command in yum 3.2. Additionally, it also shows the priority or protection status of a repository when the yum-priorities or yum-protectbase plugin are installed respectively. A sample run: (snip)
Please test this plugin, and provide feedback. We are interested whether it works well with protectbase, priorities, or none of both.
Took me a while to realize that I needed to run 'yum install yum-repolist' to get the plugin. Thought updating yum-utils would include this plugin.
Worked nicely on a C5 x86_64 system. When 'priorities' was off, 'protectbase' was shown as True/False. When both were on, 'priorities' was displayed.
Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at:
Will be nice if this page is updated to include CentOS 5.
Thanks for the work,
Akemi
