If redhat doesn't provide the yum-priorities plugin in one of its own repositories, I guess manually installing the yum-priorities package from the CentOS repo would be the easiest route to get started.
I am not sure what you mean with "regular Red Hat repositories that aren't listed in .repo files". As far as I know (but my knowledge is limited) all repositories used by yum are defined in /etc/yum.repos.d/ or directly in /etc/yum.conf Just go through all these files and add a priority=xyz to each repository defined in there. This way you can decide which repos have the highest priority. Regards, Geert -- Kobalt W.I.T.
