If we have two or more equally good sources for a package it seems like it would make more sense to sort based on type of repo ie:if the repo is a file:// repo then use that one first. The other option is to indicate a concept of distance so one repo can be tagged as 'nearer' or 'farther' But, again, that is only if two repos really provide identical pkgs. -sv
