hmm close enough. But still not what I was hoping for. the above approach
sure works but I would have to know all the repo names. It might be easy for
jus a couple of repos, But what if I have 10 other custom repos . I do not
want to specify each of them with disablerepo jus to get updates from a
specific one. Was hoping for something simple like "yum --repo=blah update"
and this gets the updates only from repo blah and ignores the rest.
