hi, is there any way to exclude package or assign priority to repository in kickstart file? with yum one can exclude packages from a repo or with yum-protect or yum-priority i can assign priority among repos (in conf file). who can i do it in a kickstart file? eg. i'd like to install kmod-xfs from centosplus repo during kickstart, but unfortunately centosplus repo also contains a modified kernel while i wanna use the base kernel. so with yum i can protect or give higher priority to base and updates and in this case kernel not updated from centos plus, but kmod-xfs can be used. of if i can exclude=kernel* from centosplus that's another solution. but none of the above work with kickstart. is there any way to solve my problem? thanks in advance.
It's true, ASFAIK, that you can't modify the yum configuration for repositories added in kickstart with the --repos option, and used for %packages. An alternative would be to create the configuration with 'here' docs in %post, and then install the package. Something like:
%post ... cat <<XYZ >>/etc/yum.repos.d/centosplus [centosplus] name=CentOSplus baseurl=http://... exclude=kernel* enabled=0 XYZ yum --enable-repo=centosplus install kmod-xfs ... -Ed
