This article has already been superseded by another: http://fedoranews.org/tchung/gyum/2.0/ The new gyum works with the yum 2.1.x that comes with FC3. However, it wants to see all the repo information in a single file, rather than using the one-repo-per-file structure preferred by yum 2.1.x. As such, it moves aside your existing yum.conf at installation time and replaces it with a new version. So any repos you may have in /etc/yum.repos.d will subsequently be ignored. An alternative to gyum would be to use the new smart package manager (http://www.smartpm.org/). FC3 RPMs for this can be found in Dag's repository at http://dag.wieers.com/packages/smart/ This can work with yum and apt repositories and has many good features. Well worth a look.
