Another interesting trick I use all the time:

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=dag install XXXX

That way, all repos will be disabled, and only the one explicitily listed will be used.

What I would love to find a way to do is this:

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=csgfs update ...and still allow yum to use the base and update repos to satisfy dependencies.

What I did instead was this:

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=csgfs check-update

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=csgfs --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates update

I then grabbed the list, extracted the package names and fed them back to "yum update".

The idea was that I wanted to update the csgfs packages and the required kernel (and other) packages, but I wanted to hold off on the rest of the 4.3 updates.
