Hi,
<snip>
- I have enabled the dries, kbsingh, and rpmforge, repositories for few packages (acroread, pine,...). However, I didn't keep track which packages come from those repos so I can't apply the 'includepkgs' instruction on them. What's the easiest way to recover that information? (Default 'yum list installed' doesn't provide the repository.)
I /var/log/rpmpkgs is a (weeklyupdated?) list of file names. Some have ".rf" in them, other "plus" etc. This should tell you for most packages from where they came.
That't what I was looking for - thanks!
BTW, I noticed that the packages in the dries repo are labeled with 'rf', the same as rpmforge. One is the mirror of the other?
I would then read up on some of the yum stuff (plugins) and use a combination of "includepkgs=", "exclude=" and "protect=" to get you going. Set this stuff up before you do any other changes.
"protect=" I used from the start in this installation. But I realized the significance of "includepkgs=" and "exclude=" too late. Hence my questions.
Thanks for the help. Itay
Thanks in advance, Itay
