1) Preferences for repositories, so that a package in more then one

I saw an option in yum.conf, pkgpolicy, which is not documented, and
the little doc I found on the web wasn't very enlightening.
You want yum priorities plugin available in Fedora Extras. Some docs at
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
I'll try this later today.
2) Search gives to much information: One line with a brief description
is enough. And it repeats it self: If the same package is in core,
updates and freshrpms I get it three times.
Yum list | grep <package> tends to work better if you are searching for
the package name instead of the metadata.
Using grep? Shouldn't it be hard coded in yum? Just a thought.
