Hi,

I'm trying to create a /etc/yum.conf file that will update my clamav
package from the DAG RPM Repository. I only want to get the clamav
package from this site. I tried to use the exclude keyword to exclude
everything that doesn't start with clamav but I'm having a hard time
getting the syntax right. This is what I have so far:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el3/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
exclude=!clamav*

On the last line I'm trying to exclude everything that doesn't start
with clamav. But this yum.conf file will still include all packages
from DAG.

I appreciate any help I can get with this.

Thanks for your help,
Kjell

You say you want to "exclude" clamav but then you want to update it ?
At the # yum --enablerepo=dag update clamav should acheive want you
want, as the repo is already enabled remove '--enablerepo=dag'and use
# yum update clamav.

I don't think the yum "exclude" syntax can tolerate the "!", inverted
syntax. I don't have yum capable system in front of me, but can it work with
an "include" statment?
