In looking at the possibility of using yum-priorities on a RHEL5 system, I noticed on thing that is different from my recollection, I see that the default priority it 99, but I seem to recall that it used to be 1. Is my memory faulty, or did it change? Actually 99 seems to make the most sense when using it in its native environment on a CentOS box. But when trying to use it in a foreign environment on a RHEL box, 1 seems to be a better choice, because of the repos that are magically created by the rhnplugin, that do not have configurations in /etc/yum.repos.d It would be ideal if there turned out to be a undocumented feature in */etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf *that allowed us to change the default priority. * *
The default priority is 99 (If you do not have a priority set). The recommended settings if you are running CentOS is:Priority=1 for [base], [updates], and [extras] ... and Priority=2 for [centosplus]
In your case, it makes since (with a RHEL install) to not have centos [base] or [updates] in there at all (since you do not want to install centos packages on RHEL).
If you want to use CentOS Extras then I would set the priorities as 2 for that.
One thing to remember when using yum from RHEL is that RHN is accessed through a plugin ... so you will need to find a way to set priorities for that differently than CentOS does it.
