No, it will never be in base / updates, it will be in centosplus (after we move it out of testing). How you can get JUST the RPMS you want and no others is to use yum (and not up2date) for the centosplus repo ... When we move it to the centosplus repo, in your "/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo" file, you would change the centosplus section of the file to look like this: #------------------------------------------------------------------- #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 includepkgs=postgresql* compat-postgresql-libs* gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 ------------------------------------------------------------------ the only lines that are changed from default are the "enabled=" and the "includepkgs=" lines ... If you want to have any files except postgresql* and compat-postgreqsl- libs*, you will need to add them to the "includepkgs=" line ... because after use "includepkgs=", yum will only install the packages on that line from the that repo. DO NOT USE up2date for the centosplus repo, as it will not honor the "includepkgs=" line and install all packages from the repo, not just those listed. Updates to the CentOSPlus repo will also not show up in the CentOSNetwork Applet if you use it. if you are using a different mirror than mirror.centos.org ... you can include the other mirror URLS instead of mirror.centos.org. > > -Ben > > On Wednesday 28 December 2005 18:33, Jim Perrin wrote: > > > Turns out the previous x86_64 version wasn't very x86_64ish.
