Most people out there need to have 3rd party repo's in addition to the main RHN ones. Rpmforge, EPEL etc. yum-priorities allows you to give each of these repo's a priority so that if you want to say keep the RHN version of a package it can be given priority over one from rpmforge etc. Currently I do not see a way to add yum-priorities priority=X flag to the RHN repo's as they appear to still use the old RHEl3x style up2date syntax. Could you please consider adding the yum-priorities support to RHN repo's so that we can take advantage of this plugin.
Chris, the yum-priorities package is not available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (5.4) and it is not even available in EPEL. Thus, adding this feature to yum-rhn-plugin in Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not feasible. I'm moving this bugzilla to Spacewalk which is the upstream for yum-rhn-plugin.
Mass-moving to space13.
This can be already achieved by adding priority=XX option into /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf. E.g.: /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf: [main] enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 1 # default priority for rhnplugin repos not explicitely mentioned here priority = 20 [rhel-i386-server-6] # higher priority priority=10 [rhel-i386-server-optional-6] # lower priority priority=30
