I am a Fedora Core 5 PPC64 user and am curious about the 'yum--enablerepo' command. If I wanted to run 'yum --enablerepo=atrpmsinstall w32codec' would yum be able to sort out whether there was aPPC or PPC64 version of "w32codec" or not? Do all repositories alsohave PPC and PPC64 versions or are there only certain repositoriesthat contain PPC and PPC64 versions, like FreshRPMS?
Cheers,

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. --enablerepo won't placeany priority on the listed repository(s), it will just enable it if itis disabled in the appropriate repo file. Similarly, --disablerepo willcause a repository to be disabled for the duration of the command.Enabling a repo that is already enabled won't do anything, AFAIK.
