Hi,
I'm looking for some documentation (or advice) on how to best manage a -mostly- upstream binary compatible CentOS installation.
I enabled the rpmforge repository in order to install a few packages not available in base/updates/centosplus. But, now when I do a "yum check-update" yum wants to update a whole stack of packages because it's found newer versions at rpmforge.
Is there a way to tell yum to only pull updates from rpmforge for packages that were initially installed from rpmforge?
I've been using the includepkgs directive with some success; although installing a package that has a dozen or so dependancies (from rpmforge) quickly makes this method seem not so elegant.
Is there a better way? I'm going around in circles a bit with the official yum documentation.
Obviously what I'm aiming for is to be as close to 100% binary compatible with the upstream provider as possible, and to also easily pull the latest updates for all my packages.
Thanks in advance, I hope you're all having a good week.
Regards,
LC.
