In short: Many people don't like Thorsten's agenda and the original
merging project moved over to rpmrepo.org.

Sorry I scratched a sore.

So I gather that the best approach is to use priorities and determine
which repo I want to have a higher priority to avoid conflict?

Thanks Axel.

Mars, saying he had the flu. Pretty convenient, isn't it?"

Actually I think priorities/weighing/scoring etc. are all ill
defined. Search for partial/selective enabling of repos for further
details.

The real answer is that repos need to cooperate for users to enable
them together. If the repo maintainers can't sort it out, how are end
users supposed to do that?

Having said that many (power) users manage very well with the
filtering they employ. But once you do so, please make sure you check
every bug you find that it is not induced by this per host
configuration.
