Hi Johnny > As I said ... i can be easily convinced to to shift back, but > shouldn't we try to do things like upstream? We also use even multiple custom yum-repo packages (e.g. by logical location of the server) which conflicts/obsoletes the standard one. We don't had to track any centos-release changes, just have to build that package. As most servers can't directly reach the public centos update servers, this update breaks further updates and we'd have to change centos-release (and track it for further changes) even we just want to use our own mirror. So I'd very much like to get the old way back with a separate centos yumconf package. Has anyone tried to add a %trigger section to the own package that disables the entries in the standard repo files? It should IMHO be possible to have that trigger being executed every time another package is installed or updated. But haven't tried yet. Thanks a lot and kind regards Roland
