-----Original Message----- From: Jon Shorie <jshorie@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Feb 10, 2004 8:20 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Settings for /etc/yum.conf I am looking for some good repositories for keeping fedora boxes up to date using yum. Does anyone have any suggestions. Here is my current yum.conf: <yum.conf> [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=fedora-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-$releasever For [base] and [updates-released], you probably want to add a couple mirrors that are closer to you (and faster), and move the Redhat servers to the end of the list. You'll get better speeds and less problems that way. Add a line "failovermethod=priority" to the end of these 2 sections, and yum will check the first server, then move down the list if it has problems. Look at "man yum.conf" for more details.
