if i then do a yum update on this box and more than one repository has a package say kernel which does it get? Or, if a package has a library dependency and that is installed and it conflicts with another, how would this be resolved?
with protectbase yum's plugin?
That is one option.
The plugin is named:
yum-plugin-protectbase
You would also need to edit your /etc/yum.conf and add this line (after installing the protectbase plugin):
plugins=1
The other option is to only include the packages you need from centosplus and dags repo using the "includepkgs=" yum.conf repo option. If you put this in the centosplus repo definition, you will get only the postfix programs (for example):
includepkgs=postfix postfix-pflogsumm
Then when running updates and installs, only postfix and postfix- pflogsumm would be looked at from the centosplus repo.
