Basically, see the details here:

http://www.drbd.org/releases.html

According to this link, drbd 8 is the "stable" one and 8.2 is still in development.
 
That is up to you :D .. but drbd82 (which is currently drbd-8.2.5) is a
replacement for drbd-8.0.x for CentOS-5.

If you look at the drbd.org site, drbd-7 is really no longer getting any
updates and is moving towards EOL in October 2008, and drbd-8.0.x is
feature frozen and not getting any more features, though it will get
security only updates from linbit.

Sounds like just what I need - it (8.0) works for me, stable, and gets security updates.
 
So now - more of a "yum" question - what can I put in some file to prevent yum from trying to upgrade drbd8 to drbd82 for now?

Thanks very much for your reply.
