See the version of yum that ships with Tao Linux, with the 'protectbase' patch. You pretty much describe here the exact functionality. Note: README.protectbase is correct wrt how it works; but man yum.conf has the correct yum.conf parameters. (protectbasesystem=1 to turn it on in [main], basesystem=1 in repos to differentiate base from non-base repositories.) regards, David On Thu, 2004-07-22 at 12:44, Ed Wilts wrote: > I'd like to set up my system to allow for both up2date and yum updates. > For my yum updates (DAG's repository, primarily), I'd like to update > only those packages that came from that repository and not clobber the > base.
