Quick question?
I needed some packages from epel so I added the epel rpms from SL6x.
Is it okay to leave the yum.repos.d/epel.repo enabled? Are there
packages on epel that will clobber the SL6x packages during the
nightly updates?
Thanks!
Ken,
You could confirm that for yourself by running an "yum update" with
EPEL enabled (notice the conspicuous lack of the "-y" option). Yum will
give you a nice list of all packages it wants to update including the
repository from which it originates, and you can just bail out if you
don't want to update at that moment (I'm pretty sure "yum list updates"
reports the repo too). That'll easily tell you if EPEL (or any other
repos) are reconfigured to stomp all over base.
