below that would cause it to ignore my exclude of libxml2 stuffs?
The exclude line needs to be in the [main] section.
Are you sure about that? I've had exclude lines for individual repositories before that have worked perfectly well. The yum.conf manpage explicitly says that exclude= can be used in both the main and individual repository sections.
Paul, We both are right in certain conditions.
I left off the qualification part of the statement above.
The exclude line needs to be in the [main] section if it is to apply to all servers.
Excludes in the [server] section only apply to servers in that section.
This is out of the man page for yum.conf on my FC2 system with yum-2.0.8-37.rhfc2.at
Paul.
