About a month ago, I offered a patch to add support for selecting a particular server repository. Hence avoiding the need to have multiple config files, or fiddle about with commenting entries in and out. That would allow you to run yum -s "rh9 updates" -y update or yum -s "rh9 rawhide" -y update evolution* There didn't seem much interest at the time, but I could let you have a copy of the patch if you think it would be useful.
