Okay. I have made a custom postfix rpm with a lower version than the one
that comes with the CentOS-5.3 DVD. That rpm is put into a seperate
repo, called 'extra-packages'. Now i install my system without
specifying 'postfix' in %packages. In the %postinstall section i have
first included the lines:

yum install yum-priorities -y
yum install postfix -y

My installation includes two repositories:  'core-0' and
'extra-packages'. The 'core-0' has a priority of 1 and includes a higher
version of postfix than the one in the 'extra-packages' repo. Result:
the DVD-shipped version of postfix is installed.

My question was if i could alter the priority of the generated
distro-repo (found in /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror) to something other
than 1 in a 'nice' way, other than manually editing
the /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/config/<distr>.repo file. 

If this isn't possible (which i tend to assume by now) that's OK too. It
just seems weird that cobbler defines this priority without me being
able to change it through the cobbler cmdline tools.
