One software on multiply repos

[robbin]

Greetings,

I have a problem, when I installed glusterFS on my server, I find EPEL doesn't have latest version of glusterFS, so I copied the repo from gluster.org on yum.repo.d, then I searched gluster via yum search, then there are 2 items,

================
Name : glusterfs
Arch : i686
Version : 3.2.7
Release : 1.el6
Size : 1.8 M
Repo : epel

Name : glusterfs
Arch : x86_64
Version : 3.3.1
Release : 1.el6
Size : 1.8 M
Repo : glusterfs-epel
=============

So I want to install the 2nd one from glusterfs-epel repo, how could i do?

Thanks in advanced.

I believe you can specify with yum which version to install, although I've never done such (try "yum install glusterfs-3.3.1").
But then when you update after that it will update to the latest version (which you do not want) so you'll need to either never perform updates after that or exclude the package, lock the version (yum-plugin-versionlock) or set priorities to the repositories (yum-plugin-priorities).
I'm not sure whether those latter options apply to RHEL or not.
Just install glusterfs, the one you want has the biggest version number and it should automatically select that one.

In similar cases (especially in RHEL world, where almost every 3rd party repo collides with every other) it's a good thing to set repository priorities, howto here: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities

Or you can simply do something like this.

# yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=reponame, reponame2 install glusterfs

which will disable every repo you have configured and then set only those specified and install the package.
