All,
We are currently testing the yum-utils and yum-utils-plugins in the dev.centos.org repository.
The two main plugins that this allows that I think would be great for normal users are protectbase and fastestmirror.
See the announcement on the centos-devel list for details:

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

The fastestmirror plugin will not work if you have a proxy server enabled AND if the outbound port that the client machine (the one you are running yum on) has the outbound port blocked.
If you are in that situation, and if you are using yum-utils-plugins, you will see all the mirrors marked as dead.
You would need to disable the fastestmirror plugin by editing the file:
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf
and then setting:
enabled=0
You would then still be able to use the protectbase (or other) plugins.
(This didn't get out last night, sending again)
I Installed both and I think they are working as they should. It keeps telling me the following:
174 packages excluded due to reposatory protections
How do I get a list of the excluded packages? I'd like to make sure they are supposed to be excluded and / or why they were so I can check my setup.

this 64 system I put together the other day gets this msg in /var/log/messages:
httpd: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I notice that there are 2 "broken" links" in /etc/httpd. modules and build kk, mind, this is my only 64 bit system...I then go look on a 32 bit that is running httpd and try to compare
the main files are in /usr/lib/httpd/ modules and build respectively
the 64 sys did not have those directories so I rsynced them over from the 32 bit "working" system. the 64 does show the links now as not broken but the system still will not work.
any suggestions?
thx
and Merry Christmas to y'all

is an x86_64 system (we also release CentOS for ppc, s390x, ia64, sparc and alpha that are 64 bit) ...
for x86_64, you should be in /usr/lib64/httpd and not /usr/lib/httpd

I don't know if you can show the excluded packages, but they would be ones that are in a protected repo and also in a non protected repo.
