Hey, folks,
I just saw Johnny mention 5.9 yesterday, and this morning, my managertells me he got about 100 emails from somewhere about 5.9 and a CR repo. So, my questions to the team is: is there a CR repo, and is there some urgency to enabling it, or shall we just wait for the release?
First hit on google for 'centos cr', read that, make sure you understand it.
- KB
Or ... I can link it for you :)
when using the yum priorities plugin, where should the CR repo be placed in the priority scheme?
when it is given no priority, I get no updates. when I set it at 3 (centos base, updates, addons, and extras are all set to 1, centosplus repos are set to 2 but disabled) I get no updates.
# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.atlanticmetro.net * extras: mirror.atlanticmetro.net * updates: mirror.cogentco.com cr | 1.9 kB 00:00 Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished 424 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update
yet there appear to be a ton of things available in the CR repo.
Should the CR repo be set to a higher priority (lower number) than the base repos? If not, what am I overlooking here?
The way the priority system works, the highest priority is 1.
If you want something to replace packages, it has to have the same or a higher priority (which is a lower numerical value).
So, if your OS repo priority is 1, you would have to set the CR repo's Priority to 1 as well to get it to replace packages from the OS repo.
