RE: how to exclude package from repo

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



That doesn't really answer the question because one would want 'kernel' to be installed, but from repo 'centos' or 'fedora', but not 'centosplus' or 'repoX', while the package lives in both repos.

Being able to specify package NEVRA would solve that, but for the time being, one needs to create his own repository or use smarter composing software that does allow package NEVRA in kickstart or allows you to select specific packages from, say, a dialog.

Put a minus in front of the package name under %packages in your ks file.
That excludes that package from being installed.

Ie

-kde
-firefox
X11
wireshark
