Further to that, there is quite a few updates in updates-testing and announced on fedora-test-list. If you would like to help out the fedora project, you could enable the updates-testing repo. An update would then get these testing releases. They could of course introduce more problems than they solve - that is why they are in the testing repository - to get wider feedback from real users.Kevin Kempter wrote:Hi List;in the past I've always had to add a KDE repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/ and run a "yum update" or "yum install <kde stuff>" to get a fully updated system.Likewise after my initial install I usually had lots of updates to be applied.Upon installing Fedora 7 I went to the update tool (smart I think) and I only had a short list of updates.Is this really the full list of updates to bring my system current?Yes.

The URL to enter must be a folder. The folder must contain the repodata folder, which must contain repomd.xml and a few other files that describe to yum what packages are available in that repo, and what the file locations are.When I did the install I went to the dialog to add additional repositories and it wanted a url and a name only. I had no clue what url to enter so I skipped it.This is only required if you need to select packages from a third party or custom repository.
