[Spacewalk-list] yum-priorities with Spacewalk [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Anthony Moore]

If anyone is interested in using yum-plugin-priorities with Spacewalk channels, I've attached a small patch for the yum-utils RPM that implements this. Priorities can be added in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf per-channel. Happy to post the RPM if desired.

 priority for repositories is 99. The repositories with the lowest
 number have the highest priority.

+This feature was added by Anthony Moore <ajm at bom.gov.au>
+
+If the repository is a channel in Spacewalk or Satellite then there
+will be no .repo file in the yum.repos.d directory. In this case you
+can specify the priority in the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
+file, for example:
