[CentOS] How does yum decide when 2 packages meet a dependency?
Hi list, Say a package has a dependency for libfoo.so.1, and 2 (or more) packages provide libfoo.so.1, how does yum decide which package to install to meet the dependency? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You mean Phil could have fixed my issue by renaming the package priimus so that the name was longer than mesa-libGL ;) Tragically possible. :) In this case, working through the logic, it would appear that primus probably won the battle on the basis of pulling in fewer deps than mesa-libGL, but what else is already installed on the system would clearly have an effect here. Still, nice to know the logic involved. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] MATROX GPU - xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.6.3 on supermicro server
Hello Guys, our cluster runs till 2014 on supermicro board. It is not unusual that still mainboards with mga graphics cards are delivered. So I have then adjusted the mga driver from centos 6 - the specification file - , to be build on CentOS 7. Since then this runs on the headnode without failures. Maybe you should provide this via epel. The source can be found here: http://centos.cms4all.org/repo/7/drivers/SRPM/xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.6.3-11.el7.centos.src.rpm This is the latest from Centos 6.9.

Re: [CentOS] TeX Live on CentOS 7
I always install official TeXLive in /usr/local/texlive - yum update thanks me. Every few months I update it, but keeping it outside of RPM means I don't get tons of individual packages, many that I never use, constantly updating in yum.

And how do you manage conflicts with packages? Do you blacklist them in Yum's repo configuration? And how about the stuff dependending on them? Install it manually using --nodeps?
