I think the OP wants to know in what order he should prioritize all those repos. To which I say: What the heck do you need that many repos for in the first place? Mixing third party repos is usually problematic, even if properly prioritized. It becomes a dependency nightmare. If you really need those repos, I would install them, but configure them with "enabled=0" and manually enable them on the yum command line only when needed. Perhaps a little background would help. What services do you need from all of those repos? Are you running a do-everything desktop machine, or servers? Have you considered virtualization as a way to isolate the instances where third party packages are needed? -- Jeff
