Now I'm trying to download a src rpm using 'up2date --get-source postgresql' and I get either a file not found or an apparent success but an empty file.
This is probably due to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=141289
[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
It looks like I can modify the files an /etc/yum.repos.d to make it use rh instead of the mirrors.
You'd be better off finding the mirror that gives you the best response and using that. It almost certainly won't be download.fedora.redhat.com.
