Hi Anthony, it would be really great, to see various types of repo-configs on centos wiki, now if few helpful& experienced users can grab this idea and come forward and share their repo config (and their case/usage scenario along with that), then that would be great.

CentOS webpage/site should also show to all users, some example of using multiple repos and how to implement effective includepkgs, exclude, priority etc directives properly for some certain last& STABLE app(s) (which is by default not in CentOS), so that others can understand the pattern, or have a pointer for them. Just mentioning about, that, there is such things called "includepkgs=...", "exclude=..." ad now go do it yourself (and sorry no example), obviously does not help that much to users, and its CentOS's loss as well, users go away to other distros, and ultimately many of them are lost in the jungle. -- Bright Star (Bry8Star).
But you appear to be missing the "C" part in CentOS (or Community Enterprise OS). If you can contribute to the Wiki, then the immediate problem is solved in that such threads can be pointed to the Wiki and slows the growth of my CentOS list folder!
Frankly, if you have a good point to make that would benefit the masses and you have spare time, then it's best to create a Wiki page for it.
Cheers, ak.
There is already a fine page on this subject on the wiki.
The point being made is that various people have the knowledge and experience to advise a startup setting for priority= for each repo I know that what I'm using has caused conflicts that have been quite time consuming to resolve - what works for others would be most helpful I do recognise that this will vary depending upon what tools are required but as a start: 1. developer workstation - what repos and what priority 2. LAMP server - probably just CentOS repos and something which deals with later php / perl / ruby 3. web / internet workstation - needs audio and video stuff working just my thoughts for starters.
