/etc/yum.repos.d/

here is mine

 

This has worked well for me so far. (I think I have posted before, this setup only has minor
additions/alterations).

Code:

$ sed -n -e "/^\[/h; /priority *=/{ G; s/\n/ /; s/ity=/ity = /; p }" /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo | sort -k3n
priority = 1 [adobe-linux-x86_64] >>>>>>> Enabled  For 64 bit Flash Player
priority = 1 [sl]               >>>>>>>>> Enabled
priority = 1 [sl-security]     >>>>>>>>>> Enabled
priority = 2 [bitdefender]  >>>>>>>>>>>>> Enabled
priority = 2 [epel]  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Enabled
priority = 3 [PUIAS_6_addons_2] >>>>>>>>>> Disabled If you want enabled only for abiword - see below.

thanks ocky i check my config again i feel less updates as compare to fedora

 

Well, certainly a lot less than (U)(K) buntu.

I was too lazy to change my priorities to two digits like 51, 52 instead of 5 for several. So, you have done it a better way.

 

hahahaha

ocky you talk like real politician ocky no budy can win you in argument

edit: by the way by politician i mean great legends like Chanakya Aristotle Vidura

 

hahaha.... no argument - you are the oracle of Unix forum.
