Selectively install package from centosplus

  • 772

How can I selectively install a package from the centosplus repository in CentOS 6.0? If I enable that repo and run a yum update, it would install other packages (newer kernels etc.) too. I just need one package from centosplus, but I'd like to get everything else from the base repository.

linux centos yum redhat

    Use includepkgs= (I need only these packages) or exclude= (I don't want these packages) in centosplus repo file.

    man 5 yum.conf

  2. yum --enablerepo=centosplus install packagename should do this for you.
