yum update/install from a specific repo

[PK]

hello:

had a quick question. Is there a way to check/install updates from a
specific repo through yum. So say I have fedora, livna and atrpms repos on
my box, would like to install /update only from fedora. So for example,
up2date has a way of getting updates from a specific channel i.e up2date
--channel=updates -u.

so whats equivalent of that with yum?

thanks

I understand :) jus want to make sure if there was an alternate approach for
this so I don't reinvent the wheel :). I'll have a look at the source.

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.

Then "yum --disablerepo=atrpms,livna update" will do it.

hmm I don't want to change the repo files, prefer to leave them at its
default state and jus have yum do that for me. At least I don't have to do
that with up2date so I'm looking for a similar behaviour.

Thanks,

Set "enable=0" in all of the repos you have except for updates.  If you
need to grab something from one of the disabled repos, use

	yum --enablerepo=atrpms update

I'm sure you've discovered that, upon reading the yum manpage, that your 
hoped for option doesn't exist.  You do, however, have access to the source 
code for yum so you could make it do as you please...  :-)
