As I've installed Open Office and Mplayer from non-official sources, I must exclude them each time I update with yum. Is there a place that I can configure yum so that --exclude=mplayer* and --exclude=openoffice* will always be considered? I can of course create a bash script my_yum_update.sh but I'd rather actually configure yum. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
