looking for clarification... I want to do "controlled" updates and came across a "feature" that doesnt prevent me for doing what I want it just makes things more difficult... It seems that the check for whether or not any repos have been enabled in files comes before the check for whether or not any are enabled with "--enablerepo=" even though command args are supposed to overide file settings. Not saying anything is wrong or broken, just wondering if I'm interpreting things correctly... For example, if I put enabled=0 in all repo files and "--enablerepo=" the one repo I want to use for a specific update etc., yum fails (see below). If however, I enable one repo in files, (and do not dissable it on the command line) alls well. If this is the intended functionality I'll try to stop thinking of yum as a firewall (deny all, allow what must pass through) and enable all in files then dissable everything except what I want to deal with on the command line... Just makes things more difficult that way. Please let me know if I'm missing something?? # rpm -q yum yum-2.2.0-1 # grep "enabled" /etc/yum.repos.d/* fc3-base.repo:enabled=0 fc3-extras.repo:enabled=0 fc3-updates.repo:enabled=0 # yum list available Config Error: Insufficient repository configuration.
