I have freshrpms in my list of standard repos for updating, but frequently the ayo.freshrpms.net site is unreachable, meaning yum can't even download the list of mirror sites for the repo, and it simply stops with an error message. So I find myself doing "yum --disablerepo-freshrpms ..." when this happens. Which is a bore. Does anyone know of a plugin that will simply skip unavailable repos and carry on rather than aborting? http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumPlugins doesn't seem to have anything in that regard. poc
