I mean unless your kickstart also points to the updates directory and you have a locked copy of the repository local you are going to run into a problem of not always getting the latest version of a certain package. If you need that level of control you need to rethink how you are provisioning the entire ecosystem from the getgo. 1. Make a local mirror of the repos and only gate in stuff you want into them. 2. Make a kickstart which points to those repos to build the system 3. %post Provision the system to only look at those repos versus the world ones. That is the best way to make sure that you have on the systems exactly what you want. > > _______________________________________________ > epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
