No it isn't.

Use priorities (newer) as it allows more flexible control
over protectbase (older).

Other then that your configs look fine.

Hi,

Is it not ok to use both plugins at the same time? I have read from the wiki 
page of centos that you must use only either protect base or priorities plugin. 
 I have been using the the config file below for months and did not encounter 
any problems. I used priority=1 and protect=1 on base and updates 
(addons,extras protect=1 ; set no priorities) for the CentOS-Base repo and on 
the rpmforge repo I used protect=0 and did not set any priority. Should I 
enable only one (protect base or priorities) and not both? Thanks.



Just for the record, basically protectbase is priorities with only 2 
settings (0 and 1)


So, if you have both installed, protectbase will override the priorities.

So, you should pick one or the other, but not both.

 Thanks for this. I was wondering if you could tell me the default
 priority for the 'priorities' plugin?
 I've made a point of ensuring that *every* repo gets a priority
 even if disabled. I'm wondering if it is necessary.

Default level is 99 if not specified.

It's all right in the wiki:

Should we then uninstall the protectbase plugin once we are using the
priorities plugin?

Probably a dumb question, but I think we should be very clear about this.

Thanks.
