No protect line means protect=1 !
Sooo, if I want to protect my Base repository from updates from Dag, and I want to protect the Dag repository from updates from KBS, for example, I'm just have to run yum with enable/disable repos accordingly?
You can't do this easily with protectbase. Any protected repo can overwrite other protected repos. So you should set 1 only for repos that have a minimal chance over overlap (f.i. KBS-Extras does not overlap with CentOS). I set base and update plus kbs-extras to protect=1, all the rest to 0. It would indeed be nice to have more protection levels (10 can overwrite 9, 9 can overwrite 8 and so on ...) instead of just yes and no. That plugin isn't very long, maybe someone plays around with it, I haven't ever programmed in Python.
