Is fedora-core.repo obsolete in F7?

[pwalden]

I just upgraded a F6 system to F7. It was a troubled upgrade. The install stopped a couple of times stating that an rpm package was unreadable. Regardless I got it to complete eventually.

However, now I am trying to get yum going and I am getting the following yum error.

Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: core

The yum.repos.d directory still has several F6 repo files in it. I recall that the core and update repos were merged in F7. so maybe I do not need this fedora-core.repo file anymore?

I have the following in the yum.repos.d directory, which should I delete?

fedora-core.repo
fedora-development.repo
fedora-development-extras.repo
fedora-extras.repo
fedora-repo
fedora-legacy.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo

Delete both fedora-core and fedora-extras, they have been replaced by the single fedora.repo.

Hello:

You don't necessarily have to delete any, but at least disable (or rename): fedora-core.repo, fedora-extras.repo, fedora-development-extras.repo. That should do it, I believe.

best to disable the old repo names by doing

yum --disablerepo=Fedora-Core

for example

but get the exact name of that repo

The correct upgade is to use the dvd.
A yum upgrade can be done if you ;
1. remove any 3rd party or older packages that would cause a resolution error or dep error.
2. download the fedora-release and fedora-release-notes and update with them with rpm. (This is what changes the repos to the new version.
4. yum upgrade (for best results do 4.a and b.)

4.a yum upgrade and when you get al the resolution correct answer N to " is this ok" message.
4.b drop into console mode telinit 3, logon as root, yum -y upgrade

before final yum upgade do
#setenforce 0
after yum -y upgrade do
#touch /.autorelabel
#reboot

Thanks for the inputs. I disabled the core and update repos by setting enable=0 in the respective repo files.

As I mentioned up front, this has been a troubled upgrade. The first pass saga is described in another thread . Then my disk crashed and I had to do it again. Both times, I could not get a clean one shot F7 install from the dvd. I had to install F6 then upgrade. I hope F8 will work better.

For future reference, just in case you ever need to do another upgrade (as opposed to fresh install):

Sounds like everything worked out - thats's good to hear.
