Managing Packages With Yum Command
Avoid Package Conflicts with Yum Priorities
Its always best to install packages from the vendor's original repositories before installing from third party repositories like RPMForge. Installing from different repositories can result in package conflicts between RPMForge and CentOS Updates repository. To avoid this, we should use the “yum-priorities” plugin.
Installing, Disabling & Removing RPMforge Repository
RPMforge is a collaboration of Dag, Dries, and other packagers. They provide over 4000 packages for CentOS, including mplayer, xmms-mp3, and other popular media tools. The RPMforge collaboration repackages many RPMs that are not included as part of the stock Linux distributions, including versions of many packages still in testing. Visit the RPMforge Website for more information.
