Hi, I am trying to set up multiple repsoitories so that I can have different groups of systems automatically install the packages they need. I have set up multiple repositories, ie: [9-base] - base RedHat 9 [9-updates] - updates to RedHat 9 packages [group1] - packages only for 'group1' machines [group1-updates] - updates for 'group1' packages [group2] - packages only for 'group2' machines [group2-updates] - updates for 'group2' machines I was planning to have a separate yum.conf file for each group of machines. In fact, I plan to use multile conf files for each group. Each will have a yum.conf which just points to the 9-base and updates so that all the RedHat packages stay current (this will be run every day). Then, each host would also have a yum.conf-group which would only have repo info for whichever group it is in. I could run something like 'yum -c /etc/yum.conf-group install \*' to install the necesary packages for each group. The problem is, certain packages in the 'group1' repo have dependencies from the RedHat base repo. Since I have the group repo in a separate conf file, it is unable to find the packages it needs when I run yum with '-c yum.conf-group'. Is there an easy way to get this working? As far as I can tell, the only way to accomplish this is to setup a yumgroups.xml and define the package groups in there, and then running a 'yum groupinstall group1'. At which point, I could have just one conf file with all the repositories in it. It would be nice if I could get this working by only modifying the yum.conf file, instead of creating a new comps.xml... Thanks, Jeff
