Ok i'm trying to understand how the new yum works. If i follow what is
said in this mail, i made a /etc/yum.conf : 
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

and some /etc/yum.repos.d/name.repo
all is fine except with atrpms because i would like to update only some
packages from this repo so i this /etc/yum.repos.d/at.repo :
[main]
includepkgs=mplayer,w32codec
[at-stable]
name=Fedora Core $releasever at-stable
baseurl=ftp://mirrors.ftp.sciences.univ-
nantes.fr/mirrors/atrpms.physik.fu-
berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-stable/
                                                                                                                                                                                                    
[at-good]
name=Fedora Core $releasever at-good
baseurl=ftp://mirrors.ftp.sciences.univ-
nantes.fr/mirrors/atrpms.physik.fu-
berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-good/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

But it seems i have to problem or misunderstood : 
enabled is 0 and includepkgs=mplayer,w32codec but when i launch yum
update, yum want to update all packages from atrpms. 
enabled=0 seems to do nothing and includepkgs also ??
