Hi,

4. I have enabled the dries, kbsingh, and rpmforge, repositories
   for few packages (acroread, pine,...).  However, I didn't
   keep track which packages come from those repos so I can't
   apply the 'includepkgs' instruction on them.  What's the
   easiest way to recover that information?  (Default
   'yum list installed' doesn't provide the repository.)

I  /var/log/rpmpkgs is a (weeklyupdated?) list of file names. Some have
".rf" in them, other "plus" etc. This should tell you for most packages
from where they came.


That't what I was looking for - thanks!

BTW, I noticed that the packages in the dries repo are labeled with 'rf', the same as rpmforge. One is the mirror of the other?

I would then read up on some of the yum stuff (plugins) and use a
combination of "includepkgs=", "exclude=" and "protect=" to get you
going. Set this stuff up before you do any other changes.

"protect=" I used from the start in this installation. But I realized the significance of "includepkgs=" and "exclude=" too late. Hence my questions.

	Thanks for the help.
	Itay


Thanks in advance,
       Itay
