I haven't been able to find them anywhere else. I am puzzled by the status of yum-priorities. Unless I'm looking at things cross eyed. It's in the CentOS5 base repository, Which I think means it should be in the RHEL5 repositories, but I can't find it there. I'm pretty sure I have a sufficient understanding of yum-priorities on CentOS to adapt it to RHEL, once I install it. And I really need to learn more about package management and repositories in a pure CentOS environment. I really don't understand the voodoo for overriding the priorities, for a specific packages when necessary. And I really wish there was a way to browse the available packages by repo after the priorities have been taken into consideration. And in addition I wish there was to browse the packages that are blocked by packages in other repositories, And better ways to understand how dependency issues effect which versions of a package are available. Is there a good place to look for documentation relative to the above. > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Drew Einhorn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
