Simple question, simple answer: newer package will be downloaded unless user disables the repository where it's found. Or is there any concept like "first come, first served" for yum.conf or yum.repos.d/*.repo? Remember, this is about "cost of download", not about features as provided by smartpm. This is about using local repositories as cache in order to avoid network access as much as possible and without the need to fill up /var/cache/yum. -- Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Core release 5 (Development) - Linux 2.6.12-1.1400_FC5 loadavg: 1.01 1.08 1.02
