Yum.conf

[fedorahack]

Fedora 14 minimal install.

When I installed Fedora 14 I was unable to install using yum. got 550 errors.

My associate at work who administrates our Fedora servers gave me a copy of our yum server. Which he created.

But now I need to point to the original site for some software that he has modified for our corporate network.

He told me to go back to the original yum.conf.

Since I was new to Fedora I did not know how to make a copy of the original so I do not have one.

Does anyone have a copy of yum.conf that works?

I need to install ppp a prereq for PPTP VPN

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Tom

this is the /etc/yum.conf file that comes with Fedora.

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=3

#  This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
#  It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m

But to point it to different software repositories, you need to change the .repo files that are in /etc/yum.repos.d/

You have a different .repo file there for the different repositories you are using. The fedora.repo fedora-updates.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo files are the ones that point to the Fedora repositories.
