[Yum] Priority for repositories

[Chris Geddings]

Hey,
What you are looking for the is the pkgpolicy directive.

[From man page for yum.conf]:

       pkgpolicy=[newest|last]
              Default: newest.  Package sorting order.   When  a 
package  is
              available  from  multiple servers, newest will install the
most
              recent version of the package found. last will sort the
servers
              alphabetically by serverid and install the version of the
pack-
              age found on the last server in the  resulting  list.  
If  you
              don’t  understand the above then you’re best left not
including
              this option at all and letting the default occur.
                                                                                
Just to clarify, what it sorts alphabetically on is the name of the repo
that you put into []'s for the conf.  So, you will want to be careful to
"name" the repo's in a way that will sort properly.

For example:
[0repo]
name=Not the most important
baseurl=http://foo/path/to/foo

[1repo]
name=The most important
baseurl=http://bar/path/to/bar
