Yes, we have to use the wget hack to make it work, as well. But it does work reliably. --- # Hack for forcing non-cached data for fetching header data /usr/bin/wget -q --cache=off -P /tmp http://www.domainname.com/yum/updates/headers/header.info rm -rf /tmp/header.inf* if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/yum ]; then /usr/bin/yum -y update fi --- Trevor -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of STYMA, ROBERT E (ROBERT) Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 9:07 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Yum and caching by a proxy server My FC3 machine at work has been having issues using yum. It's the old "metadata does not match checksum" issue which has been discussed before. In my case I believe I have tracked it down to caching on the part of the company proxy server. The wget command has a feature to tell the server to turn off caching for a particular request. I have been searching the documentation and internet and cannot find a way of having yum do the same thing. If not, an alternative would be to find a way to algorithmically derive the url for each checksum file and use wget to try to recache the value. Robert E.
