If I add priority=1 to [updates] in CentOS-Base.repo when I run "sudo yum update" I get the warning 66 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
This does not seem to have any adverse effect, but what exactly does it mean?
Hi Timothy,
See http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities ( take a close look at section 5 )
Generally all active repo's in Base would be given the same priority. If you have only added a setting of 1 for updates then all other repos will have a priority of 99 (lower).
