Hello everyone, This question is such a simple, obvious question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. When you have several yum repos files in /etc/yum.repos.d and you decide to use yum to install some software, if that software can be found in several of the repos, which repo gets priority? There are three answers I have seen: 1) use a plugin--- yum-pugin-priorities However, several sites have warned against the idea of put a priority level on the different repositories. 2) use the "--disable repo" to disable any repos when installing (this assumes you know which repos have the duplicate software!) 3) from the man page: (but this only applies to when you have more than one baseurl in a stanza, NOT two completely different repositories that both have that software) "failovermethod Either 'roundrobin' or 'priority'. under each repo stanze 'roundrobin' randomly selects a URL out of the list of URLs to start with and proceeds through each of them as it encounters a failure contacting the host. 'priority' starts from the first baseurl listed and reads through them sequentially. failovermethod defaults to 'roundrobin' if not specified." Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
