If I already have a bunch of packages from RepoForge, some of which might also be in the CentOS repo (some presumably with lower version numbers), what happens after installing and configuring yum-priorities?
Do those packages automatically get downgraded? Does yum complain and tell me I should downgrade? I assume upgrades would happen per usual if there are newer versions of packages in CentOS repo.
I'm slightly concerned because I have a handful of packages that got installed automatically from RepoForge when I installed amavisd-new from there, and I'd hate to break something.
If the packages are _NEWER_ than those in CentOS, then no, they will not be overwritten.
You might also consider installing yum-protectbase.
You'd then have to make a conscious effort to overwrite the base packages!
