There is no good/easy way to do that, currently. You could probably easily alter the filter-data plugin to allow you to filter based on repoid. As a hack you might be able to trigger off --filter-vendor or --filter-buildhost. Also, if you can do a little work in the repo. you could: 1. Add updateinfo data, and use yum-security to trigger off that. 2. Add a group with all the repos. packages, and then just groupupdate that group. ...note that plugins apply to yum-updatesd, but all of the above are cmd line only (so I'd probably just stick something in cron). -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
