FC4 & yum.conf & yum.repos.d

[stry_cat]

Can someone point me to what the official FC4 yum conf file and repo files should look like? I upgraded from FC3 to FC4 via yum and now it looks like all of my repos files are whacked.

Oh I should add, I also get a number of errors after the upgrade. Including missing keys and 404 errors for a number of repos and packages.

The FC4 yum.conf shouldn't define any repos. The default one looks like this:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

If you have installed the fedora-release package for FC4, you should have the correct repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/. They may have been installed with the .rpmnew suffix added to the filename.

Hello markkuk ,

I have similiar problemo with yum update

[root@localhost /]# yum update
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released

it was working fine earlier this morning..... however it suddenly breaks. I am behind a proxy squid server. However my firefox browses fine (connection direct to the internet). At first i thought its proxy but now not so sure.

below is a dump of my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# more fedora.repo
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora




any suggestions is appreciated.

oh yes...i have FC 4 at home installed the same time too... yum update is running aok. compared yum.repos.d and yum.conf cant spot difference. : (
hmm could it be the gpgkey ?

bigmac126 - The site you've pointed above is where I got my yum.conf but I cannot get the superkaramba app. Is there something like the "official yum.conf" that we can get it from?

The original yum configuration (which is the "official" yum configuration) that comes default with a new Fedora Core 4 installation is as follows: You should have an /etc/yum.conf file consisting of:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

You should have a directory /etc/yum.repos.d/ consisting of the files fedora-extras.repo, fedora.repo, fedora-devel.repo, fedora-updates.repo, fedora-extras-devel.repo, and fedora-updates-testing.repo.
fedora-extras.repo should consist of:

[extras]
name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras
gpgcheck=1

fedora.repo should consist of:

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

fedora-devel.repo should consist of:

[development]
# These packages are untested and still under development. This
# repository is used for updates to test releases, and for
# development of new releases.
#
# This repository can see significant daily turn over and can see major
# functionality changes which cause unexpected problems with other
# development packages. Please use these packages if you want to work
# with the Fedora developers by testing these new development packages.
#
# fedora-test-list@redhat.com is available as a discussion forum for
# testing and troubleshooting for development packages in conjunction
# with new test releases.
#
# fedora-devel-list@redhat.com is available as a discussion forum for
# testing and troubleshooting for development packages in conjunction
# with developing new releases.
#
# Reportable issues should be filed at bugzilla.redhat.com
# Product: Fedora Core
# Version: devel
name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-rawhide
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

fedora-updates.repo should consist of:

[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

fedora-extras-devel.repo should consist of:

[extras-development]
name=Fedora Extras $releasever - Development Tree
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-devel
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras
gpgcheck=0

fedora-updates-testing.repo should consist of:

[updates-testing]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Test Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-testing-fc$releasever
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test

In addition to these you may add additional files in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory for additional third party repositories. Be sure not to mix incompatible repositories. For details see the yum section of Fedora Core 4 Installation Notes.

Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for.
