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:
--- $ yum repolist Loading "repolist" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
repo id repo name status priority ======= ========= ====== ======== base CentOS-5 - Base enabled 1 updates CentOS-5 - Updates enabled 1 extras CentOS-5 - Extras enabled 1 rpmforge Red Hat Enterprise 5 - RPMforge.net enabled 99 danieldk Daniel's testing packages enabled 99 c5-media CentOS-5 - Media disabled 99 contrib CentOS-5 - Contrib disabled 99 centosplus CentOS-5 - Plus disabled 99 addons CentOS-5 - Addons enabled 99 ---
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.

Will be nice if this page is updated to include CentOS 5.
Thanks for the work,

Ah, yes, sorry.

Added a pointer to the CentOS 5 testing repo in the CentOS-testing section. Thanks!

Ditto. But even that didn't get it done for me. Being lazy today, thought about it for awhile rather than pounding away at it. Did an install for yum* w/c5-testing enabled. It worked good then.
Ah, yes, sorry.

I'm not using protectbase ATM. I like the output. Need to spend a little time thinking of best way to use priorities, I think.

Works for me on RHEL-5... Thankyou for figuring out how to get the priorities/protected in there. I really appreciate it. I will try to get RHEL-3/RHEL-4 tested later today if I can get Xen to work for me.

That won't work, because only recent version of yum allow plugins to add yum commands (as opposed to parameters).
