Hello Tim, You can specify a repo like this:
[mysql-percona] ... enabled=1 priority=20 exclude=mysql-devel,... http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/ProtectBase http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities I have the CentOS repos mostly set at priority 1 and then EPEL at a lower value. If you set the Red Hat/CentOS repo priority to 1 and then rest to a lower value, I think packages of the same name will never get installed from lower priority repos. You may just want exclude instead. The yumrepo native type also lets you specify priorty or exclusions: yumrepo { 'percona': baseurl => "...", enabled => 1, exclude => "mysql-devel,...", priority => ..., ... } I just started using immerda's great yum module: https://git.puppet.immerda.ch/ Manging yum repos in puppet let's you then specify package repo requirements: package{ 'package': ensure => enabled, require => Yumrepo['epel'] } Gary On Jan 1, 1:11 am, "Tim Harper" <timchar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Gary, > That sounds fantastic.
