No mystery here. You have that repo set at priority 90,.. so the base repo set at priority 1 is overriding it.

Generally what we do is use the yum enablerepo/disablerepo parameters to install a program from a specific repository, to avoid using priorities.
example output:
Code:
#yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=epel repolist
Loaded plugins: security
repo id repo name status

Thanks szboardstretcher, I obviously wasn't thinking.
I tried the following, but resulted in an error since git needed a dependency. Got around it by disabling priorities, but would like to know the proper way to do it.
That sounds like a pain. I would have thought there would have been a way to specify a repository for a given package. Why not just for the few times you want to override your priorities, do as follows? Will this cause problems when upgrading?
