Hi, I'm a little confused as to why there are two baseurls in several of the categories (base, updates, etc.) of your yum.conf file. I can see that several are commented out with a # but there seems to clearly be more than one baseurl for several things. Does this simply mean that yum looks in both these categories at the same time?
I'm also curious about several of the other lines in your yum.conf (e.g. "tolerant, exactarch, obsoletes", etc.). Here's my yum.conf, which is very straightforward: ---------------- [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest [base] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Base baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/4.0/base/ [updates] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/4.0/update/ [extras] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Extras baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/4.0/extras/ [freshrpms] name=Fresh rpms baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/freshrpms/ ----------------- Based on your advice, I take it that I should never point yum to rpms from YDL 4.0 if I'm using 4.1? Are you aware of rpm repos (other than the obvious YDL ones, which are currently down) that have been updated for 4.1 yet? The repos I currently have bookmarked are still stuck at YDL 4.0. -PRH On Saturday 17 June 2006 21:27, Derick Centeno wrote: > Hi Bob: > I have a different approach regarding yum.conf, if you are willing to > consider it. > > First, here is my yum.conf file which I use within YDL 4.1.
