Is there a way to set up this repo so that when I run "yum upgrade" it will only check the firefox and xulrunner packages from the remi repo?
Add
includepkgs=firefox xulrunner
to the repo definition for remi.
This will _only_ allow those specific packages from remi and exclude everything else.
Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. And I've made a note to myself to not only search man page for the a string, but to see if there is a separate man page for the config file.
You can also set 'enabled=0" for the repo, then after a "yum update" from the base repos, do a "yum --enablerepo=xxx install package..." (or update) for the specific packages you want from there.. This isn't quite as full-auto as specifying the packages in the repo file,but it will bring along dependencies that you might have to add piecemeal. Just be sure you look at the list of packages yum is proposing to change before confirming it.
That's one way of doing it.
I would suggest the following:
add:
exclude = firefox thunderbird xulrunner
to base/updates, followed by
priority = 1
and then in remi repo
priority = 10
and finally,
yum install yum-priorities*
This should keep those pesky unwanted base-overwriting packages out unless you specifically want them :-) You should do the same with other repositories.
Just my 2 pence.
