YUM.CONF configuration and excludes ? We are installing HSPHERE on centOS... Trying to properly configure /etc/yum.conf I'm trying to confirm that the following will properly block YUM from performing interfering updates: [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 exclude=postgresql* apache* bind* proftpd* ezmlm* qmail* vpopmail* sendmail* XFree86* aspell* mysql* rsync* php* mod_* #released updates [update] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 exclude=postgresql* apache* bind* proftpd* ezmlm* qmail* vpopmail* sendmail* XFree86* aspell* mysql* rsync* php* mod_* #packages used/produced in the build but not released [addons] name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 exclude=postgresql* apache* bind* proftpd* ezmlm* qmail* vpopmail* sendmail* XFree86* aspell* mysql* rsync* php* mod_* #additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 exclude=postgresql* apache* bind* proftpd* ezmlm* qmail* vpopmail* sendmail* XFree86* aspell* mysql* rsync* php* mod_* CAN Someone confirm this is the proper approach? Thanks, Patrick |

Hello, In addition you only need one exclude statement and the proper place for that statement is before the mirror lists .. as in up at the top.

Thanks for the information. Considering the ramifications, I'm a little concerned that this is implemented properly. It's too bad there are no specific exclude list examples readily available. Does anyone have any corrections or other suggestions on the following: ###start file... exclude=postgresql* rh-postgres* apache* bind* proftpd* ezmlm* qmail* vpopmail* ezmlm* sqwebmail* sendmail* XFree86* getttext* aspell* ispell* pspell* mysql* rsync* php* mod_* [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 #released updates [update] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 #packages used/produced in the build but not released [addons] name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 #additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 Thanks, Patrick |

Thanks, I had reviewed that page... was looking for more specific feedback as to the approach... here is what I have used... I'm anticipating this is correct for CENTOS 3.4 that it should function properly... [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-hugemem kernel-enterprise kernel-debug kernel-unsupported kernel-smp-unsupported kernel-hu$ tolerant=1 exactarch=1 exclude=postgresql* rh-postgres* apache* httpd* bind* proftpd* ezmlm* qmail* vpopmail* ezmlm* sqwebmail* squirrel* sendmail* XFree86* getttext* aspell* ispell* pspell* mysql* rsync* php* mod_* frontpage* [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 ... on to rest of file... Important to note the exclude statement only need appear under the [main] area. Thanks, Patrick |

Hello, 1. Two many "x's" in gettext 2. Sendmail can be updated .. I am at a Total loss as to why its even in that exclude doc ... 3. Squirrelmail is not a PSOFT product .. As to Xfree86 I am still wondering why that can not be updated. I have yet to see any server anywhere (I maintain close to 50) that has a issue with that being updated ..

Sorry to dredge up an old topic; However, I'm curious why you've set your distroverpkg variable to 'distroverpkg=redhat-release' for a CentOS environment rather than 'distroverpkg=centos-release' which is what appears in my yum.conf by default. Thanks, Ryan |
