I think you are correct. The empty page was my error in pointing to the page title rather than the page itself (works for some pages, but not for others). How does this look? Always beware when using/mixing 3rd-party repos. The yum protectbase or priorities plugins are your friends. Although both can be used together, the priorities plugin provides more functionality and using protectbase is unnecessary if the priorities plugin is configured properly.

Just for confirmation: they will work together, but it is generally a bad idea, because one of the plugins override packages that the other is supposed to protect. I agree that this page should be changed in this respect. -- Daniel ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
[CentOS-docs] Clarification in HowTos/MigrationGuide page
Hi, A little more of clarification :) ... In some wiki pages say that the protectbase and priorities yum plugins can not be used together. It seems that the next paragraph must be updated: > Always beware when using/mixing 3rd-party repos. The yum protectbase and/or priorities plugins are your friends. Although both can be used together, using protectbase is probably unnecessary if priorities are configured properly. See Using_protectbase_and_fastestmirror_yum_plugins and yum-plugin-priorities. < See where it says --- Although both can be used together --- . Other things to note here are: - the link to yum-plugin-priorities page has no information, maybe it could be pointed to PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities page. - the large Using_protectbase_and_fastestmirror_yum_plugins link maybe could be replaced by two small links to the corresponding plugin pages or just the yum's wiki page ? What do you think ? Thanks guys, al. ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
