Yum Updates

[Quantum]

If I want to add an update repo to my system, what is the best way to do it? Is there a tool, or do I have to do it manually?

How do I get and install the gpg key for that repo?

Fedora Docs is your friend

Well I thought the Admin Guide was my friend, but obviously it's not. Read it through and it said I can either:
a. In yum.conf add a line after the baseurl line, with only the url for the new repo.

b. Add a new section to yum.conf after the regular one, as such:
[multimedia]
baseurl=http://downloads.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/multimedia/
enable=1

Yet when I do either of these I lose all access to regular packages like bind. Well, maybe these methods are just non-functional. It's a mystery. When Debian says something will work, it works. Maybe the only way is to add a file to yum.repos.d. Furthermore, in the files in yum.repos.d, the baseurl is always commented out! Why does it work if the main repo's baseurl is always commented out? Doesn't make sense. Yes, let's do everything backwards and upside down.
