SoHo - Software repositories

Attach your CentOS 4/5 to the EPEL repository

rpm -i [http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm]
yum update

Attach to RPMforge (safe method)

yum install yum-priorities
rpm -i http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Attach to vitki.net repository

rpm -i http://rpm.vitki.net/pub/centos/5/noarch/vitki-net-release-5-3.el5.noarch.rpm

Set priorities in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo:

• [base], [addons], [update], [extras] ... priority=1,
• [centosplus],[contrib] ... priority=2
• [epel] ... priority=3
• [rpmforge] ... priority=4
• [vitki-net] ... priority=1

The following command should report packages excluded due to repository priority protections
