If I have 2 repos for updating all installed packages: $base_repo, $other_repo and want to update about 200 "base" packages exclusively with $base_repo and about 12-15 "other" packages exclusively with $other_repo and prefer to only make one call to 'yum update'.. Can I do it like this in yum.conf (or yum.repos.d/*): [$base] ... exclude other-pkg-1 other-pkg-2.... [$other] .... exclude $(Regex describing everythign but other-pkg-1 other-pkg-2...) Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks! Earl __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250
