Folks
I am trying to use the CR repo in for yum, but find that nothing is getting updated. The repository isn't even listed in the yum run.
The file contents of /etc/yum.repo.d/CentOS-CR, after I adjusted the priority is:
# CentOS-CR.repo # # The continuous release ( CR ) repository contains rpms from the # next point release of CentOS, which isnt itself released as yet. # # Look at http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR # for more details about how this repository works and what users # should expect to see included / excluded
[cr] enabled=1 priority=3 name=CentOS-$releasever - CR baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/cr/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
The YUM output does not list the CR repository.
What am I doing wrong?

Priority....
How is it ordered.
Is priority=1 more important than priority=2? If so, then I already have
at priority 1: base, centosplus, updates, extras at priority 2: contrib at priority 3 cr at priority 10 epel
Or do I have it backwards?

Yes. "highest" priority is 0; "lowest" priority is 99.
at priority 1: base, centosplus, updates, extras at priority 3 cr
cr will never be permitted to update base/centosplus/updates/extras currently.
I must apologize for my original response; wording was quite confusing, if not outright wrong.
It should have read:
"Priority must be the same or higher than base/updates; lower numeric values are rated at a higher priority."

OK. (bottom posting) ... so the priorities are set correctly, yet CR doesn't show up in the YUM repo listing. HELP?

No, your priorities are *not* set correctly. CR must be at the same or lower-numbered priority than the base and updates repos. If base is at priority 1, then CR should also be at priority 1.
I think the confusion comes in because a lower number means a higher priority. In order for the CR repo to update the base packages, it must have the same or a higher priority (meaning the same or a lower number).

Is this a typo, or is the .repo extension really missing? IIRC that is required for yum to pick up the file (otherwise yum would be trying to parse .rpmsave files and the like).
