Hi Anthony, it would be really great, to see various types of
repo-configs on centos wiki, now if few helpful& experienced users
can grab this idea and come forward and share their repo config (and
their case/usage scenario along with that), then that would be great.

CentOS webpage/site should also show to all users, some example

pointer for them. Just mentioning about, that, there is such
things called "includepkgs=...", "exclude=..." ad now go do it
yourself (and sorry no example), obviously does not help that
much to users, and its CentOS's loss as well, users go away to
other distros, and ultimately many of them are lost in the

But you appear to be missing the "C" part in CentOS (or Community
Enterprise OS). If you can contribute to the Wiki, then the
immediate problem is solved in that such threads can be pointed
to the Wiki and slows the growth of my CentOS list folder!
Frankly, if you have a good point to make that would benefit the
masses and you have spare time, then it's best to create a Wiki
page for it.
Cheers, ak.
There is already a fine page on this subject on the wiki.
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
The point being made is that various people have the knowledge and
experience
to advise a startup setting for
priority=
for each repo
I know that what I'm using has caused conflicts that have been quite
time consuming
to resolve - what works for others would be most helpful
I do recognise that this will vary depending upon what tools are
required but as a start:
1. developer workstation - what repos and what priority
2. LAMP server - probably just CentOS repos and something which deals
with later php / perl / ruby
3. web / internet workstation - needs audio and video stuff working
just my thoughts for starters.
