Yes, you're right, it is compressed. I just looked at the size, being
the same with and without -z, which thus seems to be a no-op.
Depends on which server has the latest version. If you want the
newest version
installed than you should set it to newest. With pkgpolicy = last a new install
will install the version from the last server but if a version already exists
from the first server and the version on the first server is newer yum will not
downgrade to the older package.
The latter is then my problem, as I really need a different behaviour.
But I'll move this discussion to the yum list and post it again there,
with some more explanation of what I want.

What is a kernel i.s.o.?? If you mean rpm, yum will only install a kernel.
The i.s.o. related to installing vs. upgrading.
It will not upgrade a kernel. So if you need to upgrade a kernel it
will
install it along side of the old kernel and adjust the grub.conf to make
the new kernel the default. Presently to rm the old kernel you need to do an
"rpm -e kernel-2.4.whatever.old.rpm. Seth is working on fixing this but at
present using yum to rm the old kernel does not work properly.
Is this all configurable? Like the "allow-duplicated" in apt-rpm?
Same for the grub default action.
There is a yum mailing list at:
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
Suggest you ask yum specific questions there. The people over there are very
willing to help.
OK, I'll post an updated list of questions later today on that list,
as it is here a bit off-topic and then we can continue the discussion.
Thanks so far,
