It was not terribly reliable when it came to packages being a higher revision in repository above. So your goals would be thwarted. ex: 00repo has foo-1.1-1.noarch.rpm dag has foo-1.2-1.noarch.rpm you have foo-1.0-1.noarch.rpm installed now even with pkgpolicy=last you were still going to get the foo from dag's repo not from 00repo. in yum 2.1.12 (soon to be released) I've included a new option in the config file: includepkgs= it's the opposite of exclude in a [repo] section. It lets you say you want only certain packages from a repo rather than having to exclude the ones you don't want. -sv
