I've been thinking about 3rd party repos
So far the only non RHEL packages I've installed are freenx and nx from
the CentOS extras. I haven't been able to find them anywhere else.
I am puzzled by the status of yum-priorities.
Unless I'm looking at things cross eyed.
It's in the CentOS5 base repository,
Which I think means it should be in the RHEL5 repositories,
but I can't find it there.
I'm pretty sure I have a sufficient understanding of yum-priorities on
CentOS to adapt it to RHEL, once I install it.
And I really need to learn more about package management and
repositories in a pure CentOS environment.
I really don't understand the voodoo for overriding the priorities, for
a specific packages when necessary.
And I really wish there was a way to browse the available packages by
repo after the priorities have been taken into consideration.
And in addition I wish there was to browse the packages that are
blocked by packages in other repositories,
And better ways to understand how dependency issues effect which
versions of a package are available.
Is there a good place to look for documentation relative to the above.
