I am trying out Fedora 13 (on a 64-bit AMD system with 4GB RAM, if it
matters). I have installed OpenOffice.org packages from Fedora's repo
but I'd like to try the repo from Go-OO instead.
I looked into yum-plugin-priorities (which is available in the Fedora 13
repos) and came across
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities so I could read
some documentation on how to use this plugin. I thought it would be
appropriate to give higher priority to the Go-OO repo than the Fedora
repos and I'd be one step closer to always getting OpenOffice.org from
Go-OO instead of Fedora.
Towards the bottom of that webpage I read a quote from Seth Vidal:
... lead in, ending: (same way most people end up setting up
'yum-priorities' anyway)
Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many
things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just
be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to
hurl.
I would like to know what the proper way to specify that I'd prefer to
get OpenOffice.org (and its related packages for language packs,
integration, etc.) from the Go-OO repo instead of Fedora's repo.
Is "exclude=openoffice.org*" in the Fedora repo files the preferred way
to say I don't want OpenOffice.org from these repos (thus implying that
I can get OpenOffice.org from Go-OO as long as I keep the Go-OO repos
enabled)?
Or is there something I'm missing in this?
Thanks for your help.
