This is my etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources list: What I don't understand is how the rhn icon gets directed to the repositories. ### this describes the various package repos up2date will look into ### for packages. It currently supports apt-rpm repos, yum repos, ### and "dir" repos ### format is one repo entry per line, # starts comments, the ### first word on each line is the type of repo. ### the defalt rhn (using "default" as the url means ### use the one in the up2date config file #up2date default ### When a channel-label is required for the non up2date repo's, ### the label is soley used as an internal identifier and is not ### based on the url or any other info from the repo. ### an apt style repo, this time arjanv's 2.6 kernel repo ### format is: ### type channel-label service:server path repo name #apt arjan-2.6-kernel-i386 http://people.redhat.com ~arjanv/2.5/ kernel ### Note that for apt repos, there can be multiple repo names specificed ### space seperated. ### an yum style repo ### format: ### type channel-label url yum fedora-core-2 ftp://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/ yum updates-released ftp://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386/ #yum updates-testing http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/i386/ #yum fedora-core-1 #http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1 #yum updates-released #http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1 #yum updates-testing #http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1 ### an local directory full of packages ### format #dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/RPMS/ # multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used.
