The exclude= line: exclude=kernel-2* kernel-smp* kernel-devel kernel-hugemem* kernel- largesmp* needs to be in both the [base] and the [updates] section of the CentOS- Base.repo file. The reason for the long line and not just exclude=kernel* is the package named kernel-utils ... which is not in centosplus but needs to be updated from the [base] and/or [updates] repo. You also need to exclude other packages from centosplus {that you are using} from [base] and [updates]. also ... if you are only interested in only the kernel packages in centosplus ... and you do not want php-5 (as and example) then you would add this line to the centosplus repo: includeonlypkgs=kernel* > > If a higher/ newer Version-Release is made available in [base] that is > always going to override a lower version, even with a -.plus.c4 in there. > > - KB -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
