Hi
When adding priority to a repo, like rpmforge or epel, is it better to give the same priority or can give different priority to different repos, ranking them?
thanks

The purpose if priorities is to do exactly that: prevent higher-numbered repos from overwriting stuff from lower-numbered priorities.

Even better - leave them disabled by default and install/update specific packages with --enablerepo= to control which you get and avoid, to the extent possible, random conflicts. I'm not sure if this is still true but I thought it was fairly safe to leave epel enabled since they rarely/never overwrite base packages. But sometimes you want something newer from rpmforge.
