That's great, but ... ehm... what does it mean? I mean does it influence the solver or downloading a package in commit?
It influences the solver. The solver will prefer packages from repos with higher priority (which unfortunately is a lower number in yum-speak). Michael <mls> should be able to provide the exact details. AFAIK higher repo priority is prefered over version and arch.
Example situation: repository X with priority 99 containing package foo-1.0 repository Y with priority 90 containing package foo-0.9 repository Z with priority 95 containing package foo-1.0
User selects foo for installation. Which package will be installed?
AFAIK packages will be considered in this order a) package foo-0.9 (priority 90) b) package foo-1.0 (priority 95) c) package foo-1.0 (priority 99) but architecture/vendor of any installed foo may have an influence.
And what users expect to happen when they change priority of a repository? I don't think the solver is influenced yet.
No it works, and if something is wrong with it, it's missconfigured or a solver bug :) -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
