I'm not sure what the lack of responses to my previous post means, but I convinced myself that the FAQ (Q/A13, about how to get Yum to prefer one repo over another) really is wrong, and there is no way to do that currently with yum-2.6.0. I submitted a bug report on this http://devel.linux.duke.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=585 and a propsed fix for it http://devel.linux.duke.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=586 > -----Original Message----- > From: yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Stuart McGraw > Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 10:40 PM > To: yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [Yum] local repo before remote? > > Hello, > > I have a local repo that has a subset of Fedora Extra > packages in it.
