I've got some curious behaviour I cannot explain...
I have, amongst other repos, rpmforge and epel. rpmforge contains puppet 0.22 whereas epel
has 0.24. In my kickstart I list puppet as one of the packages I'd like installed.
It appears that 0.22 is installed for me no matter if I "cobbler create repo"
with or without a priority. I tried to make epel have a priority of 3 and rpmforge 99 - no
luck.
Regardless of a VM or bare metal machine - 0.22 is installed for me :(
What's interesting - after the machine/VM comes up I can yum update and 0.24 is
installed at that time.
I am running Cobbler 1.6.6.
Thanks ahead of time!

Repository priorities only work if you have the yum-priorities package installed on your
systems. In addition to this, anaconda (the installer) does not handle repo priorities, so
if you want this taken into account make sure you install the packages where this matters
in the %post section of the kickstart and not in the %packages section.

Thanks for the insight. I'm chuckling as I have yum-priorities as one of my packages
in the %packages section - hoping it'd solve that problem ;)
I'll try the %post section as you suggest - really appreciate the help!

Silly question - how do I express this package in the %post section?
Do I "yum -y install yum-priorities" ???

yum-priorities can probably go in packages. Puppet would need to go to %post, and that
would indeed be yum -y install puppet.

Thanks again!
That seemed to work :)

So, this is a stupid question - but how does this find the correct (latest) rpm as opposed
to defining in %packages?

What the priority setting does is basically just write out the yum repo configuration like
this:
[myreponame]
name=foo
baseurl=http://bar
priority=1
The "priority" setting is not handled by yum. It is the yum-priorities plugin
that actually does something with this.
During installation, the yum shipped with anaconda is used, this yum does not include the
yum-priorities plugin, neither does anaconda understand any priority parameter to the
"repo" setting in the kickstart file. That is why this only works when:
1) you installed yum-priorities, and
2) you install the desired packages that should take into account priorities in the %post
section.
Everything in %post runs in a chroot in the newly installed system, thus it is using the
new system's yum instead of the yum that's in anaconda.
I hope this makes it a bit more clear. :)

Jasper

Yes that makes sense! Thanks!
