CentOS

i'm waiting too !
in the meantime i'm having to use a centos/oel/rhel host vmware player 3 with xubuntu 9.10 guest vm that runs google chromium chrome vm just fine !

yum yum-priorities is still broken see new bug http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4002

fantastic thanks

it look like you might be using a ovh http://www.ovh.co.uk/products/rps_offers.xml virtual server with the grsecurity http://www.grsecurity.net/ patch check your yum.conf you might find it includes exclude=kernel which normally makes sense for virtual machines you can uncomment this but your actual ...

interesting i'll see if setting all my centos repos to priority=1 still allows me to update apache httpd to 2.2.8 and php to 5.2.6
ps do you have any more links to yum priority documentation

make sure you have yum-priorities installed

then add

priority=1
includepkgs=http*,mod*,php*

to your centos testing section and

priority=2

to all your other sections

thanks that wasnt what i wanted !

so i've now changed it to

priority=1
includepkgs=http*,mod*,php*

and have now upgraded from apache httpd 2.2.3 to 2.2.8 as well

i just edit (with nano or vi) my existing repo file and add the testing lines
