Core 2 yum Config

[KaiN]

I searched all over for a posted yum.conf file to use in core 2 but I had to do a lil reading on how to make my own and thought I would post my config file here.

It's just a start but works and is fast.

KaiN -

That config file did the trick - I dl'd synaptic and apt, and am now happily paring my new FC2 to a little more manageable size - thanks and good job!

[ilja]

I would comment the testing stuff out as default, and then if someone wants to have it, he/she would uncomment it then.
//edit:
So to not only complain here my yum.conf for FC2

The Update Directory is not yet there and must be uncommented later

[KaiN]

Yeah that was mentioned in the Tutorial but I just left it like this because yum will show that it is a test file.

Good idea though.

[D@ Mick]

None of those configs work :s Where can I find a tutorial on the yum.conf file??

[ilja]

Ok, I have now changed it so now it works.

comment (#) all the problematical lines out.

[h4d]

This yum.conf seems to work great, but Fedora is growing very fastly. We need more mirrors!
I keep getting the following:

Error getting file ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/2/i386/os//headers/nscd-0-2.3.3-27.i386.hdr
[Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] 421 There are too many connected users, please try later.

[ilja]

Just try a server near you. I live in Aachen, so the RWTH Aachen is perfect for me. In USA there are more then enough very good server.

[Pegasus]

You can also try the mirrors in switzerland. Also i'm close to ilja's location, i use mirrors in switzerland, because they are very fast ;)

Quoting the holy yum.conf manual:

"If you list more than one baseurl= statement in a repository you will find yum will ignore the earlier ones and probably act bizarrely. Don't do this, you've been warned."


The correct way would be:

baseurl=http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/freshrpms/ayo/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms/
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms

...or a little easier to read:
